denon is the deno replacement for
nodemon providing a feature packed, highly configurable
and easy to use experience.

denon does not require any additional changes to your code or method of
development. denon is a replacement wrapper for deno. To use denon,replace
the word deno on the command line when executing your script.

Features

Denon provides most of the features you would expect of a file watcher and more.

  • Automatically restart your deno projects
  • Drop-in replacement for deno executable
  • Extensive configuration options with script support
  • Configurable file watcher with support for filesystem events and directory
    walking
  • Ignoring specific files or directories with
    glob patterns
  • Not limited to deno projects with a powerful script configuration

Install

To install denon simply enter the following into a terminal:

deno.

1.6.0 to install this executable.
You can upgrade running deno upgrade.

Usage

denon wraps your application, so you can pass all the arguments you would
normally pass to your app:

denon run app.ts

you can pass arguments to deno:

denon run --allow-env app.ts

and even to your application:

denon run --allow-env app.ts --arg-for-my-app

you can run scripts declared in config:

denon [script name]

and you can see which scripts are available in your config:

to see what else you can do with deno CLI use the help flag:

denon --help

Configuration

denon is designed to be simple but also extremely configurable to fit your
project needs. It supports both json and yaml for the configuration file. The
configuration options in yaml is the same as json making it compatible.

to create a basic configuration in the root directory of your project file you
can run:

denon --init

this will create a basic scripts. json file:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": "app.js"
  }
}

you can also initialize from a custom template (see
src/templates.ts
file for all the available templates)

denon --init typescript

JSON config (

scripts.json template)

Denon configuration can be provided as a JSON file:

{
  // optional but highly recommended
  "$schema": "https://deno.land/x/denon/schema.json",
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "run my app.ts file"
    }
  }
}
JSON Schema

You can use a JSON schema to have type checking on your configuration. Simply
add:

{
  "$schema": "https://deno.land/x/denon/schema.json",
  "scripts": {
    /* */
  }
}

YAML Configuration (

scripts.yml template)

Denon configuration can be provided as a YAML file:

scripts:
  start:
    cmd: "deno run app.ts"
    desc: "run my app.ts file"

Typescript config (

scripts.config. ts template)

Denon configuration can be provided as a .config.ts file:

import type { DenonConfig } from "https://deno.land/x/denon/mod.ts";
const config: DenonConfig = {
  scripts: {
    start: {
      cmd: "deno run app.ts",
      desc: "run my app.ts file",
    },
  },
};
export default config;

You can use a typescript configuration file to have programmable configuration
based on your environment (for example loading a .env file):

import { DenonConfig } from "https://deno.land/x/denon/mod.ts";
import { config as env } from "https://deno.land/x/dotenv/mod.ts";
const config: DenonConfig = {
  scripts: {
    // same as json configuration
    start: {
      cmd: "app.js",
      desc: "Run my webserver",
      env: env(),
    },
  },
};
export default config;

Available options

denon takes inspiration from the awesome
velociraptor module in the way it
handles scripts.

Scripts

Scripts are declared inside the scripts object and are identified by a name:

{
  "scripts": {
    // they all resolve to `deno run app. ts` when you run `denon start`
    "start": "app.ts",
    // OR
    "start": "run app.ts",
    // OR
    "start": "deno run app.ts"
  }
}

Scripts can also be defined by a complex object:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      // with an optional description that
      // is shown when you run `denon` to list
      // all the scripts
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      // available options...
      // they are described in the next paragraph
      "allow": ["env", "write"],
      "unstable": true
      // running `denon start` will resolve in
      // deno run --allow-env --allow-write --unstable app.ts
    }
  }
}

Script Options

Options can be script specific or be declared as global in the root of the
config file.

Environment variables

Environment variables can be provided as an object and are passed directly to
the child process.

{
  // globally applied to all scripts
  "env": {
    "TOKEN": "SUPER SECRET TOKEN"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app. ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      "env": {
        "PORT": 3000
      }
    }
  }
}
Permissions

Permission can be granted to child processes. You can provide specific
permissions for each script, but you can also declare permissions globally,
following the same format.

{
  // globally applied to all scripts
  // as object ...
  "allow": {
    "read": "/etc,/tmp", // --allow-read=/etc,/tmp
    "env": true // --allow-env
  },
  // ... or as array
  "allow": [
    "run", // --allow-run
    "net" // --allow-net
  ],
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      // specific for a single script
      // as object ...
      "allow": {
        "read": "/etc,/tmp", // --allow-read=/etc,/tmp
        "env": true // --allow-env
      },
      // ... or as array
      "allow": [
        "run", // --allow-run
        "net" // --allow-net
      ]
    }
  }
}
File watching

While file watching is a core feature of denon you always have the option of
disabling file watching and run a script only once:

{
  // globally applied to all scripts
  // now denon will essentialy be a script runner
  "watch": false,
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app. ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      // you can still enable watch on a script-by-script basis
      "watch": true
    }
  }
}
Import Map

Load import map file. Take a look a at the
official docs
for additional info.

⚠️ This feature in unstable in the current version of the deno executable.

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      "importMap": "importmap.json"
    }
  }
}
TS config

Load tsconfig.json configuration file:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      "tsconfig": "tsconfig.json"
    }
  }
}
Unstable

Enable if the script is using unstable features of deno stdlib:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      "unstable": true
    }
  }
}
Inspect and InspectBrk

Activate inspector on host:port. If inspectBrk is used the executions breaks
at the start of the user script:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      "inspect": "127.0.0.1:9229",
      // OR
      "inspectBrk": "127.0.0.1:9229"
    }
  }
}
Lockfile

Check the specified lock file:

{
  "scripts": {
    "start": {
      "cmd": "deno run app.ts",
      "desc": "Run the main server.",
      "lock": "lock.json"
    }
  }
}

Denon: brand information, news, articles, questions • Stereo.ru

Denon (デノン株式会社 denon kabushiki gaisha, “Denon stock company”) is a Japanese consumer electronics company specializing in the production of Hi-Fi and Hi-End audio equipment for professional and home use.

Background

At the beginning of the 20th century, an American expat in Yokohama, Frederick Whitney Horne, who used to import phonographs and wax cylinders, decided to establish his own production. The American-Japanese startup (Japan “nichi” + America “bei”) was originally called Nichibei Chikuonki Seizō Kabushiki Gaisha. New products were promoted by a separate division of the Nichibei Phonograph Company.

As a joint stock company, Nichibei was renamed Nihon Chikuonki Shōkai (Japan Recorders Corporation) and Nipponophone Phonograph Company in 1910 to emphasize the company’s Japanese roots in a country with nationalist and imperialist traditions.

Frederick Whitney Horn

After the rebranding and merger, Horn’s corporate project, Nitchiku, became the first factory in Japanese history with a centralized distribution system for turntables and records, first single-sided, and from 1915 years and double-sided records. Prior to that, all local music was sent to circulation in Europe and the United States.

By 1919, Horn handed over control to his colleague J.R. Gary and left Japan, while Nitchiku continued to absorb local brands: Oriental Phonograph Mfg Co. in 1919, the Standard Gramophone Co. in 1920, Temoku Gramophone Co. in 1921, Sankōd Menophone and Tokyo Record Company in 1923.

Curiously, this essentially American practice eventually led to a decline in the share of Western record labels like Victor, not only in the Japanese market, but also in colonial Korea. And besides, the Japanese government imposed a heavy tax on imported goods, forcing importers to create subsidiaries. Which is what was done.

In the 1920s, acoustic recordings were inferior to the more advanced electrophones, and Nitchiku decided to turn to modern technology. In addition, the surviving early Nitchiku catalogs indicate some connection (at least at the level of licenses) with Columbia.

One way or another, but in 1927 British and American Columbia received 35.7% and 11.7% of the shares of Nitchiku, whose staff headed the combined company Nippon Columbia, and in 1931 she entered the EMI family. However, already at 19In 35, in connection with the political course of Japan towards militarization, Nippon Columbia, along with other companies, was nationalized and transferred to local management.

Brand Genesis

The technical group at Japan Recorders Corporation was called Japan Denki Onkyo (denki for electricity and onkyo for acoustics). It was here that they were engaged in the production of gramophones, and you should not confuse it with the Onkyo hi-fi brand from Osaka – these are completely different people and history. By 1939, Denki Onkyo had been shortened to Denon, and the company had a significant increase in orders.

The state, represented by the national company NHK, was in dire need of broadcasting equipment. In particular, the legendary 78 rpm record of Emperor Hirohito’s surrender was recorded using a model DP-17-K recorder.

Post-war successes

After the end of the war, the professional ties between Nippon Columbia, Denon and NHK did not end – quite the contrary. Collaborative developments in the radio and television industry allowed Denon to subsequently establish itself in the consumer audio market. The first moving coil head appeared in 1951 years old.

DL-103

But perhaps the most famous Denon product in collaboration with NHK – the DL-103 MC cartridge – was released ten years later, and is still produced to this day in various variations, becoming a kind of standard in vinyl sound technology. The development of professional and vinyl equipment has traditionally been handled by the office in Mitaka.

During the 1950s and 1960s, more and more professional and consumer audio equipment, which was entrusted to the second factory in Kawasaki, fell into the field of Denon’s interests – these are reel-to-reel and cassette recorders along with media, radios and even musical instruments. Beyond that, however, NHK and Denon were working on a promising project that would change the face of the audio industry for the future.

Experiments with digital audio recording

NHK, in collaboration with Denon, researched PCM audio coding, for which, on the basis of a VCR, in 1967 they built a mono and in 1969 a stereo model for digital recording with parameters of 13 bit / 47. 25 kHz. The ADC/DAC was Analog Devices’ multi-million yen military radar model.

“The World Of Stomu Yamash’ta”

In 1971, Denon engineer Takeaki Anazawa made the world’s first commercial digital audio recording. These were “The World Of Stomu Yamash’ta” and “Something” (Steve Marcus & Jiro Inagaki), released a year later on LPs made using the master’s straight cut method. Denon representatives claimed that as a result they surpassed the recording quality level of traditional analog tape recorders.

“Something” (Steve Marcus & Jiro Inagaki)

These two editions were recorded in one pass without editing the material, and for real studio work a multi-channel unit was required, which appeared just a year later – in 1972.

DN-023R

In the PCM model The Denon DN-023R had eight channels, and the 47.25 kHz audio was recorded as a low-frequency signal on a 2-inch tape of a four-head Shiba (formerly Hitachi) B&W VCR. It was a cumbersome three-part system—a tape drive, a monitor, and a signal processor—that weighed a total of one ton. On such a device, it was already possible to edit audio material.

The first recording on the new equipment was a performance of Mozart for strings K.458 and K.421 by the quartet im. Sour cream. Later, six more vinyl records were released by Nippon Columbia, recorded using the DN-023R. The recording device itself has also been modified in the direction of reducing the weight and dimensions. The next version of the recorder DN-023RA was already suitable for transportation to field recordings in Europe.

1970s Hi-Fi

In 1977, Billboard magazine presented Denon with the “Trend-Setter Award” for digital sound recording, and PCM soon found its way into the CD market. But in the 70s, Denon not only experimented with new sound formats, but also did not forget about the traditional Hi-Fi market.

DP-5000

Direct drive servo motors in vinyl tables have brought success to the company. So, the 1971 model DP-5000 used speed control using magnetic sensors, providing a detonation level of just 0. 025% inaccessible to traditional belt devices. A similar speed tracking system was used in the DH-710 reel-to-reel tape recorder.

DH-710

The era of the CD

Although Denon, for all its past achievements, was not the founder of the new CD-AudioIntroduced the DN-3000FE large CD player stand for professional use in 1981.

DN-3000FE

And only then, in cooperation with Hitachi, in 1982, offered a consumer top-loading DCD-2000 player. However, subsequent models of Denon players were produced with a traditional horizontal CD tray.

DCD-2000

In the consumer sector, the company also offers its own 20-bit digital filtering algorithms for more accurate processing of CD data. The crowning achievement of this direction was ALPHA technology, which appeared in 1993 in the legendary DA-S1 DAC paired with the top-end DP-S1 transport.

DA-S1 and DP-S1

The DP-S1’s layered body, oil damped copper chassis with air cushion and brass stabiliser, represented the highest form of Denon engineering ambition.

Denon also holds the palm in creating some of the most sonically interesting portable CD players of its time, in particular the Denon DCP-150 with a pair of AD1868 18-bit R-2R DACs.

DCP-150

In the same 1993, digital workstations for working with 20-bit precision appeared in the Denon studio equipment list. The extra four bits were needed to reduce quantization errors when mixing 16-bit digital tracks.

By 1995, Denon’s multi-channel studio equipment had reached 24-bit/96kHz. All this came in handy for new media in 5.1 format.

The DVD era

In the 1990s and early 21st century, Denon focuses on decoding and multi-channel audio media – including music content. Symphony No. 3 “Eroica”, Beethoven’s Egmont Overture and Chopin’s Piano Concerto No. 1 were recorded live in 5.1-channel format at a concert at the Alte Oper in Frankfurt on November 1996 years old

DVD-2000

In 1997, the first DVD-player DVD-2000 appears. The company is equipping a 5. 1 sound recording studio and publishing symphonic music concerts in a new DVD format at its Denon Active Media (DAM) plant in Atlanta.

“Tetsu Takemitsu: Spectrum Canticle (Tatsunori Numajiri & Hibiki Tokyo)”

SACD “Tetsu Takemitsu: Spectrum Canticle (Tatsunori Numajiri & Hibiki Tokyo)” was released in 1999, and in 2001 Denon released its first DVD-Audio – ” R. Strauss: Home Symphony (Inbal & Switzerland)”.

Denon AV processors and AV receivers are among the first to feature the latest decoders for Dolby Digital, DTS and other THX extensions. Also together with Silicon Optix in 2004 Denon presents the Realta HQV (Hollywood Quality Video) video chip in the DVD-A1XV player.

DVD-A1XV

Denon’s migration to the US was not without reason, as the center of the entire film industry is located here. In 2008, the Denon DVD-A1UD became the first all-in-one Blu-ray player to support SACD/DVD-A.

DVD-A1UD

Denon’s most recent achievement to date is the first 13.2 AV receiver, the AVR-X8500H, introduced in 2018 and equipped with everything from Atmos decoders to HEOS branded multi-room.

AVR-X8500H

Finance and reorganization era

In 2001, 98% of Denon’s shares passed from the debt-ridden Nippon Columbia to the American investment holding Ripplewood Holdings, and 2% of the shares remained with Hitachi, which no longer had the ability to operationally manage affairs. The amount of the transaction between Ripplewood and Nippon Columbia was 49million dollars. At the same time, at the time of the sale, Denon had assets worth 186 million and a debt of 82 million.

In 2002, the Denon brand, along with Marantz, was moved into the new D+M holding, which then included other hi-fi names such as Boston Acoustics and McIntosh. Ripplewood owned 68.6% of D+M shares, while Philips, the previous owner of Marantz, held 14.7%.

Denon Professional, Marantz Professional and Denon DJ were spun off and sold from D&M in 2014. The buyer was Florida-based inMusic, which also owns Numark, Akai and Alesis. In 2017, the D + M holding was sold to the American concern Sound United, whose portfolio already included acoustic brands Polk Audio and Definitive Technology. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Denon’s history – 110 years of innovation

Denon 110 Year Anniversary – SPIRIT OF INNOVATION

First Denon logo, late 1930 a long time for the world of home audio, taking us back to the very first the days of the creation of musical devices and the appearance of the first gramophones and records. All along, Denon has always had the same intent – to provide our customers with access to the exciting world of music, great musicians and cinema-quality sound right in their homes.

Frederick Whitney Horn

Founded by American entrepreneur Frederick Whitney Horn with Japanese partners, Nippon Denki Onkyō Kabushikigaisha (literally translated as “Japanese Electric Sound Company”) was founded in 1910 as part of the Nippon Chikuonki Shokai (Japan Sound Corporation). pissing devices).

Nippon Chikuonki Shokai Factory circa 1910

At that time, the parent company produced single-sided discs, which until then were mainly used for voice recording and gramophones. This was only a few decades after Edison first invented his phonograph, which recorded sound on a wax cylinder, and Emil Berliner had only recently made the transition from cylinders to discs, on which we still listen to music today. In America, customers at this time were still listening to the cylindrical record player – the phonograph that Edison had invented!

Disk recorder production

The new manufacturer was not only the first consumer audio company to sell gramophones, but also the first record company in Japan. This illustrates where the name Denon came from in 1930, from the first syllables of the words Denki and Onkyo. The company has always been at the forefront of ‘electric sound’, and has not only produced equipment designed to reproduce music, but also recorded music itself.

Nipponophone No.35

AT THE ORIGINS OF REVOLUTIONS

Denon pioneered many revolutions in home audio, releasing the first LP records, developing new digital technologies for the first CDs back in the early 1970s, and releasing the first the world’s line of AV receivers over 30 years ago.

With the release of the 110 Anniversary Series, Denon not only celebrates a milestone in the company’s history, but also celebrates 110 years of great sound that Denon engineers have brought to life in the Anniversary line, from the AVC-A110 13.2-channel AV receiver to a special version of the legendary DL-A110 pickup.

MILESTONES IN HISTORY

From the very beginning, Denon has been committed to the development of the entire sound recording and playback chain. Just two years after its founding, in 1912, the company merged with Japan-US Recorders Manufacturing, the first of a series of mergers. In 1928 the company became part of the world famous record label Columbia Records and was renamed Japan Columbia Recorders. And in 1946, the company was renamed Nippon Columbia and at that time cooperation began with the national broadcasting company of Japan – NHK.

Denon DP-17K Vinyl Recorder

It was for broadcasters that Denon launched its first professional recorder, a two-deck portable recorder called the DR-148. Through the use of acetate recording discs, the recorder had immediate playback capability and NHK planned to use it for the 1940 Tokyo Olympics. By this time, the company already had a special plant for the production of recorders, developed a sapphire cartridge for playing acetate discs, and a low-vibration synchronous motor.

In 1944, the company officially became Japan Denki Onkyo Co., Ltd., and its Denon DP-17K recording machine was used to record Emperor Hirohito’s speech at the end of World War II. This was the first time the Japanese public had heard the Emperor’s voice, but it took two takes before the speech was ready for transmission: to the dismay of NHK technicians, the first time the Emperor spoke too quietly.

IN THE ERA OF TAPE AND LP

In 1948, a revolution occurred in the audio recording market – the then largest record company Columbia first released the so-called Long Play Record (LP), designed for a speed of 33⅓ rpm and at the same time appeared on the market a completely new type of sound recording – recording on magnetic tape.

Denon keeps up with the times with the introduction of its first portable tape recorder – much more reportable than disc recorders, which were “portable” at best. The R-28-F tape recorder was adopted by NHK and by the late 1950s, the Mitaka plant, originally intended for the production of disk recorders, was almost completely switched to the production of tape recorders, which was accelerated by the advent of stereo recordings and stereo players in the 1958 year. Production of disc recorders ceased entirely in 1963. Still primarily targeting professional users, Denon released its first SH-31 headphones in 1966.

The Denon DN-302F was the first direct drive turntable for broadcast studios.

In 1964, together with NHK, the company introduced the DL-103 cartridge. It went on to become one of the legendary Hi-Fi products of all time, popular with broadcast studios and home audio enthusiasts alike. It is still produced at the Denon Shirakawa factory in Japan, more than 55 years after its introduction, and its technology and high sound quality are at the heart of the special cartridge in the 110 Anniversary line, the DL-A110. At 19In 1970, the company introduced its first direct drive turntable, the DN-302F, for broadcast studios. This year also marked another important milestone – for the first time the Denon name began to appear on products aimed at the mass consumer, and one of the first products was the legendary DP-5000 direct drive motor unit for turntables, to which the buyer could add his plinth , tonearm and cartridge. Two years later, the best-selling model DP-3000 came out, and in 1976 – top model DP-7000 with direct drive and quartz stabilization. These Denon direct drive turntables continue to be highly sought after by vinyl enthusiasts for their great sound and high reliability.

DIGITAL AUDIO ERA

World’s First Denon Digital PCM Recorder DN-023R

B 1972 Denon releases its first integrated stereo amplifier Denon PMA-500, but Something even more important happened behind the scenes of the professional audio world when the Denon DN-023R, the world’s first digital PCM recorder designed by Denon, was announced. The eight-track device has been received with interest by the broadcasting industry. Denon also pioneered the development of the world’s first professional CD player. DN-3000F. Launched at 19At 81, it was a year ahead of the consumer debut of CD players. The DN-3000F has been designed for studio use, with the advanced search capabilities and instant start needed for on-air work.

Denon’s first consumer CD player DCD-2000

Denon’s first consumer CD player, the DCD-2000, was followed just a year later by the DCD-1800 using Super Linear Converter technology. These products were also produced at Shirakawa Audio Works, north of Tokyo, where many of Denon’s models are now made, including the Anniversary 110 Series, which is the crowning achievement of Denon’s engineering expertise and craftsmanship.

INVENTION OF HOME CINEMA

The Denon AVC-2000 is one of the first AV receivers with Dolby Pro-Logic Surround sound.

Until 1985, Denon’s focus was on recording and playing music in stereo, but that changed with the introduction of its first AV amplifier, the AVC-500. At the time, the market was unchallenged by VHS tapes with stereo sound, but the AVC-500 had what has been called a “surround sound feature to add atmosphere to stereo”. Denon Surround was a full surround sound system using the rear channels via an additional amplifier with a 30ms time delay applied to the rear channels to create surround and feel like you are in a hall or theatre,

Yes, it seems like a very simple solution compared to today’s AV receivers and amplifiers, with their many features, multi-channel audio processing, 8K video support, and even network capabilities, but the AVC-500 was the first, and it was another revolution in the world of audio. Just three years later, the AVC-2000 with Dolby Pro-Logic Surround sound was released, followed three years later by Denon’s legendary surround sound combo of the AVP-5000 processor and the POA-5000 multi-channel power amplifier.

In the meantime, the company continued to develop and improve equipment for the professional market and in 1990 the company released the first Digital Audio Tape (DAT) player, the DTR-2000G. The 1990s also saw the introduction of some models that were destined to be the forerunners of classic Denon hi-fi components for several decades, such as the 1991 Presta series of mini components that formed the basis of all mini systems up to the D-M.

Denon’s legendary combination of surround sound components, the AVP-5000 processor and the POA-5000 multi-channel power amplifier.

A STEP INTO THE FUTURE WITH NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Just as these first home theater products and mini systems set the style for Denon’s future models, the introduction of the flagship S1 series in 1993 introduced a large number of technologies that are still used in company models. Models in the S1 range (the S stands for sensitive) included the DP-S1 CD transport and the DA-S1 external D/A converter with Denon Alpha Processing technology, designed to reproduce more analog sound than conventional digital sources. Amplification was provided by a PRA-S1 preamplifier and two POA-S1 monoblocks.

DP-S1 CD transport and DA-S1 external D/A converter

Denon’s amplification technology was called UHC- (Ultra High Current) Single-Push-Pull-Circuit allowed to combine high power output with precise musical expression. It was a top class solution, the first of its kind. The technology made it possible to reproduce not only high dynamics, but the smallest nuances of sound that convey the emotions of the performers. Also for the first time, Direct Mechanical Ground Construction technology has been applied, which eliminates cabinet vibrations and provides a cleaner sound. New technologies and solutions of the S1 series also touched upon the DL-S1 pickup and the associated AU-S1 phono stage.

Denon POA-S1 Mono Amplifier

INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE

Based on new technologies, Denon engineers have expanded and improved the capabilities of home audio components. In 1997, Denon introduced the world’s first five-channel surround sound system, and just a couple of years later, Denon launched the AVC-A10SE, the first multi-channel amplifier to support THX Surround EX technology. It was followed by the world’s first AV receiver to support DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, the AVC-A1SE.

World’s first DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 AV receiver

Finally, 2008 saw the arrival of the Denon AVP-A1HD ultra-high-end AV processor and Denon POA-A1HD power amplifier without compromise. – this time offering already ten channels of amplification and an absolute level of sound quality.

AVP-A1HD ultra-high-end AV processor and POA-A1HD power amplifier and the world’s first “universal” BD player DVD-A1UD

The next breakthrough came with the move to Blu-ray discs, which offered even higher sound and picture quality. In 2009, the DVD-A1UD was released, the world’s first “universal” disc player that supports BD, SACD, DVD and CD. Played all possible sound formats on all possible disc formats!

Today, Denon continues to innovate in products for home users. Drawing on over a century of audio engineering experience, Denon’s latest products now support high-resolution audio streaming as well as all possible surround sound formats such as Dolby Atmos, DTS:X and Auro 3D. All of them are designed to immerse listeners in the world of their favorite music and films. Modern Denon AV receivers offer up to 15 channels of surround sound and 8K video. Get ready for the next generation of home entertainment.

FILLING THE HOME WITH SOUND

Denon Home 150, Denon Home 350 and Denon Home 250

Denon believes that music can bring the whole family together and suggests that this pleasure should not be limited to one room. Its HEOS networked multi-room technology can play audio throughout the home with access to music and streaming services via mobile phones and other HEOS-equipped audio components.

Dyson v12 2023: An Honest Review Of The Dyson V12 Detect Slim 2023

Dyson V12 Detect Slim review: If you walk barefoot in your home, your vacuum needs a laser

If you think your hard floors are clean just because you vacuum on a regular basis, you’re wrong. That’s what I learned after just a few days with the Dyson V12 Detect Slim(opens in a new tab).

Dysons are the “it” vacuum of the cordless vacuum world not because of automation or fancy app features, but because of innovative yet super practical upgrades to how well the vacuum…sucks. (OK, their color palette contributes to the icon status, too.)

Dyson’s latest cutting-edge element has nothing to do with the cyclonic suction itself. Rather, the new feature — a laser — highlights microscopic pieces of debris that the human eye would miss, ultimately leading to a deeper clean by showing you the spots that need attention. New cleaning paranoias unlocked!

With the release of the $649.99 V12 Detect Slim(opens in a new tab), Dyson offers customers a more budget-friendly way to incorporate the laser without spending between $749.99 and $969.99 (the price range of the other Dysons with laser technology.) The V12 Slim also rocks the digital display first seen in the V11, plus a piezo counter that reports on the size and amount of particles encountered. Dyson calls it “scientific proof of a deep clean.”

The price cut can be attributed to a downgrade in battery life (60 minutes versus 120 minutes), a skimpier dust bin (0.1 gallons versus 0.5 gallons), a smaller motor (11 cyclones versus 18), and fewer attachments. It still comes with two interchangeable cleaner heads: the Laser Slim Fluffy and the Motorbar.

As one of Dyson’s smallest-capacity stick vacuums, the V12 Slim doesn’t look like it holds much. But for a 1,500-square foot apartment with three girls that shed and create a decent amount of crumbs, I was pleasantly surprised to only have to empty the bin once a week or so.

FWIW, the downsizing is what keeps the V12 Detect Slim so slim and lightweight. Weighing in at 5.2 pounds, it’s nearly three pounds lighter than the Dyson Outsize Absolute+, and a breeze to whip around with one hand.

A button under the V12’s display allows you to manually choose between three cleaning modes: auto, medium, eco, or boost. Auto makes the decision for you by constantly scanning the floor and adjusting suction power accordingly. The cyclonic boost in heavy-debris areas, like the soiled floor surrounding plants that my cat insists on digging in, is audible — and comforting, because you know it’s working.

Even with a few cut corners, I found the V12 Detect Slim to be a game-changer, and I’d quickly tell anyone to consider splurging on it over the cheaper, less-powerful Dysons.

This laser made me feel like shit about the status of my floors in the best way possible

We’re all regretfully aware of the fact that dust is technically concoction of things like sloughed-off skin cells, hair, and dust mites — so even if you stay on top of vacuuming the obvious stuff like everything bagel crumbs or tumbleweeds of pet fur, other stuff is constantly gathering behind the scenes. The thing is, it’s barely visible to the naked eye.

I, a chronic daily vacuumer, was the last person I expected to be shocked by how much dust and hair congregates on my floor in less than 24 hours. Naturally, one would think their floors are pretty damn clean if they’re vacuumed literally every day. The laser says “sike.”

It highlighted hair, fur, dust, and even minuscule shards of glass in spots that genuinely look spotless, like a black light illuminating glow-in-the-dark details on a bowling alley carpet. One rule: The lights stay OFF during sex vacuuming with the laser. It’s the only way to get the full experience of watching microscopic pieces of dust light up like teeth and white T-shirts in the indoor roller coaster.

The laser saved our feet from rogue pieces of a broken mirror that weren’t big enough to spot with the naked eye. As for the saving of my roommate’s soul from seven years of bad luck, stay tuned.

My mother is the one person I know whose reaction to what’s hiding on the floor would be even more visceral than mine. I brought the V12 Slim along on a visit to my parents’ house and told her to let the laser rip on her textured tile kitchen floor. “This is the most depressing thing I’ve ever seen,” I heard her say as she witnessed so many more pieces of dander and tufts of cat fur than you’d ever notice with a casual glance.

But after you’ve spent a few good minutes rocking in the fetal position whilst ruminating over what you’ve been stepping on all this time, it’s really satisfying to visualize just how thorough of a job this vacuum is doing.

Most of us know the space underneath our bedroom furniture or behind the couch is a breeding ground for dust bunnies. We pretend we don’t know, but we do. But if you ever do feel so inclined to give those “out of sight, out of mind” spots a much-needed sweep, the laser head makes it easy to see what you’re doing.

The laser fluffy head ditches the tennis ball-sized ball that the motorized head uses to swerve around (it’s like the mini version of the Big Ball that corded Dysons have). Instead, it takes on a bendy straw design. This keeps its profile low and allows the whole vacuum to lay almost parallel to the floor, depending on how close to the ground you feel like getting. I was able to push it under furniture where even a slim robot vacuum definitely couldn’t fit. Its soft bristly approach laps up specs of dust similarly to how a cloth or Swiffer pad would, rather than relying on sheer suction to pull them up. After going over a particularly dirty spot, you can take a second look with the laser to ensure the pieces you saw before are gone.

While the fluffy head’s wheelhouse is bare floors, it does a decent enough job on carpets and rugs that I didn’t bother to swap heads unless I was strictly vacuuming plush carpet. I actually preferred it on the flat weave rugs in my apartment that toyed with the Motorbar. When my cat Sansa knocked her container of catnip off the coffee table (classic), the fluffy head picked up most of the leaves in one or two passes.

No, the laser doesn’t highlight invisible debris on carpet, but I wish it did.

Who, me?

The Motorbar is great for heavy debris, but sometimes too strong for its own good

The Motorbar cleaner head is the go-to for thick carpeting. It’s half an inch thicker than the slim head, optimizing air flow for stronger suction. The conical shape digs deeper into carpet fibers than the soft design of the fluffy head, using special anti-tangle spirals designed to tear hair out of carpet fibers and push them into the bin without wrapping around.

As you reminisce on all the times you’ve had to cut jumbles of long hair out of the bottom of a vacuum with scissors, you’d be right to be skeptical about how anti-wrap any cleaning head could possibly be. It’s probably inevitable eventually, but I haven’t had to give the V12 Detect Slim a trim yet — and I vacuum daily in an apartment that’s home to three long-haired 20-somethings who shed.

I was most impressed by the Motorbar’s success rate on kibble on my parents’ medium-pile carpet. (This mess was self-inflicted because the cats’ bowls live on tile, but vacuums are better put to the test on a surface where crumbs can stick like Velcro.) In my experience, the most a vacuum typically interacts with heavier debris is pushing it around or sucking it up then shooting it out the back of the cleaning head — or glossing over it completely.

I drove the V12 Detect Slim right through the middle of the pile and watched a pristine path form behind it, clearly showing where the vacuum had and hadn’t been. Not a single piece of food was left after just one pass.

However, the Motorbar’s beastliness was also its downfall on some floor types. A flat weave floor runner, a low-pile bath mat, and a furry rug all tripped the Motorbar up to the point where it stopped spinning completely. At that point, you have to turn it off and back on to make spinning resume. Quelling suction with eco mode helped to avoid this on some surfaces, but it often stopped spinning so quickly that I didn’t even have time to switch modes. Plus, when strong suction is typically associated with better performance on carpet, doesn’t it seem antithetical to decrease power just to avoid a brush bar malfunction?

While I’d still prefer the fluffy head’s fibers to lick up tiny specs of dust, I found the Motorbar to be really effective on heavy debris like soil on my hardwood floors. It’s a godsend each time my roommates and I decide to re-pot plants inside.

With these attachments, a dedicated hand vacuum is obsolete

Dyson Humdinger who?

Starting with the best, the motorized hair screw tool is essentially a mini version of the full-sized motor head with the same anti-tangle conical brush bar designed to target long hair and fur. This little beast is so powerful that no one would be surprised if it were a separate, extra purchase, so it’s nice that Dyson includes it. (Mini motorized attachments aren’t often included with cheaper cordless vacuums.) But if you have pets that sit on the furniture or car seats, motor-driven cleaning for smaller spaces is almost as crucial as the full-sized cleaning heads themselves.

Most of my cat’s fur doesn’t collect on the floor. It collects on her multi-story cat tree, which was the perfect place to test the mini Motorbar’s tenacity on pressed-down pet fur. Its compact size allowed me to get close to the curved edges of her tree where my ChomChom is too wide and stiff.

The dust bin was basically empty before I used the vac on the cat tree. Just sayin’.

The mini Motorbar was great at combing crumbs off of velvet furniture, which is sometimes stubborn.

My apartment is only one level, but it’s not hard to see how the mini Motorbar could come in clutch for carpeted staircases that collect fur where a full-sized vacuum can’t provide the flexibility to nail the corners. Obviously, that detailing is something a robot vacuum can’t provide.

The other included attachments (a crevice tool and a combination tool with a wide nozzle and brush) can be found in just about every cordless vacuum box regardless of price or brand, but are useful nonetheless. The skinny extender gets precise with where it’s pointing and is great for squeezing between cushions, sweeping out crevices in the car, or tending to those nasty baseboards.

Downsides: A few quirks, but they’re not big deals

If anything, large homes (more than 2,000 square feet, maybe) with multiple pets that shed heavily might consider bumping up to a Dyson with a larger dustbin and longer battery life. You can squeeze just under an hour out of the V12 Detect Slim on one charge if it’s on low power mode, but that’s hard to achieve when the vac automatically works harder on areas it senses to be dirtier.

I like the idea of not actively holding a trigger to keep the vacuum on, which is what I had to do with my Dyson V10. But the on/off button on the V12 Detect Slim is positioned just far away enough from the handle that you can’t hit it with your thumb on the hand that’s vacuuming. It’s not a striking inconvenience, but did get annoying if my other hand was busy moving an obstacle out of the way.

Is the Dyson V12 Detect Slim worth it?

The V12 Detect Slim(opens in a new tab) takes advantage of Dyson’s best features, like the laser, digital display and automatic boost, and powerful, precise attachments. The bullet points that it sacrifices to keep the cost down aren’t major hits.

Between the laser, low profile, flexible swerving mechanism, and less-hostile suction on finicky rugs, I almost always found myself reaching for the Laser Fluffy Slim head over the more intense Motorbar. This says a lot about whether to opt for the V12 Detect Slim over a cheaper Dyson that doesn’t have the laser head.

The lite (like diet but also like lightweight) version of Dyson’s latest laser creation isn’t Dyson’s cheapest or highest-end vacuum. But the Dyson V12 Detect Slim will tell you the truth about your floors for hundreds of dollars less than its siblings, and that’s what makes it such a worthwhile purchase.

How we tested

We tested this product because, well, it’s Dyson. Arguably the vacuum market’s biggest player, Dyson is constantly expanding its powerful cordless vacuum lineup. The newest release, the V12 Detect Slim(opens in a new tab), is the cheapest option that incorporates Dyson’s laser technology. We wanted to see whether it’s actually a bang for your buck or a bust.

The V12 Detect Slim was put to the test for two months in two different environments: an all-hardwood apartment home to three 20-somethings with long hair and a cat, and a mostly-carpeted house (with scattered tile) home to my parents and two cats. Aside from actual cleaning performance, the size of these homes also gave insight into the V12 Detect Slim’s battery life, which isn’t the longest — but given how hard it’s working, that’s understandable.

Both the Laser Fluffy head and Motorbar head were tested on hard and soft floors to determine how often swapping them is necessary. The attachments were tested on furniture covered in both crumbs and pet hair, a super furry cat tree, dusty baseboards, and the interior of a car. 

Some other factors taken into account during testing were:

  • Battery life: Few things are more frustrating than your vacuum dying halfway through its job. (It’s the downside of not being tethered to the wall.) The V12 Detect Slim’s alleged 60-minute runtime (on eco, the lowest power setting) is shorter than other Dysons, which offer up to 120 minutes, but beats the common 40-minute limit of more basic models.

  • Weight and maneuverability: As a one-handed task, the tedious-ness of vacuuming is directly impacted by the clunkiness of the vacuum. Its overall compactness also determines how easy it is to store. Note that the V12 Detect Slim is kept slim by using a smaller dustbin than its siblings.  

  • Attachments: Cordless vacuums offer serious convenience past just being cordless. Aside from their actual cleaning head (the V12 Detect Slim comes with two), a slew of included attachments let them quickly convert into a powerful handheld. Most cordless stick vacs come with a long-reach crevice tool and combination brush. The V12 Detect Slim has those, plus a mini motorized tool for concentrated suction on furniture or car seats.

  • Price point: A Dyson is an investment. $649.99 is a splurge compared to some $200 to $400 vacs from Samsung, Shark, and Black+Decker, but it’s certainly not as hard to stomach as pricier Dysons. Considering the V12 Detect Slim’s effective cyclonic suction, innovative (and genuinely helpful) laser technology, versatile attachments, and ease of use, $649.99 seems appropriate.

The underrated yet powerful Dyson V15 Detect sibling

(Image: © TechRadar)

TechRadar Verdict

It’s very tempting to give the Dyson V12 Detect Slim top marks, but its dustbin is small – too small – when compared to its other V-series siblings. Other than that, and despite having comparatively lesser suction power than the V15 Detect, the V12 is still pretty powerful, capable of matching the V10’s performance. It also comes with all the best features of the V15 without costing as much. So for anyone looking for a new Dyson without having to pay top dollar, then the V12 Detect Slim is a good alternative.

One-minute review

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim was only mentioned in passing during the official launch of the V15 Detect – it was almost as though Dyson didn’t really want much to do with the V12 because it wasn’t a flagship. But we’ve just spent a few weeks with both new Dyson handsticks and we’re pretty impressed with what the V12 Detect Slim can do… at a slightly lower price than the V15 Detect.

Should I buy it?

Compared side by side, the V15 flagship is the clear winner in terms of performance, with far superior suction, but given the V12 Detect Slim comes with the headline-making features like the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaning head and the piezo sensor that ‘listens’ to what’s getting sucked up, but in a slightly cheaper package, there’s not much to complain about here.

  • Dyson V12 Detect Slim at Best Buy for $649.99

It has a small bin, yes, the same one used in the Dyson Omni-Glide, but it’s also what makes the V12 lighter, and thus easier to maneuver, than the V15 Detect. But, because the sides of the bin are so close to the inner cyclone, we found that clumps of hair and fibre don’t fall out as easily as they do with the 0.76L bins on the other V-series models. We had to use our fingers to get the dirt and debris out almost each time we vacuumed a carpet – not as hygienic as we hoped it would be.

If you’re not too fussed about that, though, the V12 Detect Slim can match the V10 Cyclone for power (which is the best vacuum cleaner in its own right) and do so reactively. That means that if the V12 detects more dirt in a particular spot, it automatically increases suction power – the change is slight but effective. However, unlike the V15 Detect when used with the High Torque cleaning head, the V12 doesn’t reactively adjust suction when moving from hard floor to carpet.

There’s hardly any other compromises with the V12 Detect Slim. It ships with its own version of the amazing new Hair Screw Tool – a masterpiece of engineering capable of sucking hair and fur (even slim cables if you’re not too careful) of any length without tangles – and you get the digital display of everything that’s being sucked up thanks to the piezo sensor. However, it costs almost as much as a Dyson V11, and if you can manage without the laser-lit Slim Fluffy tool and “scientific proof” of what you’re cleaning, then we’d lean towards getting the older model only because of the bin capacity.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim: price and availability

  • Announced alongside the Dyson V15 Detect in May 2021
  • Currently only available in some Asia-Pacific markets
  • List price: from AU$1,199 (about $895 / £645)

While the Dyson V15 Detect and the Dyson Omni-Glide were the highlights of the company’s May 2021 launch announcement, a third vacuum cleaner was also mentioned. The V12 Detect Slim comes in as the cheaper sibling to the V15 Detect, but only for select markets. So far, it’s available in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, but in several other countries, Dyson has introduced the ultra-lightweight Micro 1.5kg instead – an even lighter model with a maximum runtime of just 20 minutes.

The V12 Detect Slim offers almost as much as the V15 Detect and costs AU$1,199 in Australia (about $895 / £645 – conversions likely higher than actual RRP), which is as much as a V11 model in Australia.

At the time of writing, there was no official word on whether the V12 models would be available in the US or UK, but we’ll update this review as soon as we know more.

On a side note: Dyson told us that the company decided to jump a couple of generations when it comes to naming its vacuum cleaners because the numbers 13 and 14 are considering unlucky in some cultures.

Editors note: August 2022

The Dyson V12 launched in the UK and US in June 2022. The US and Australian variants are the same, but the UK V12 arrives with the low-reach adaptor attachment.

This additional attachment has been engineered to adjust the wand angle by 90° so you can comfortably reach under furniture. It can be be bought direct from Dyson $49. 99 / AU$39 if you would like to add this to what is already in the box.

To further add to this, Dyson are in the process of launching their new pet grooming tool which is compatible with all cordless vacuums, including the Dyson V12. This has been designed to remove your dog’s loose hairs, pet dander and microscopic skin flakes when attached to the main body of the machine or via an extension hose.

  • 0.35L bin
  • Power button replaces trigger
  • Only 11 radial cyclones

Dyson hasn’t veered from its design aesthetic in… forever, so the V12 Detect Slim looks very much like the rest. Except for a large red button on the barrel of the handheld unit. This is the power button that replaces the trigger we’ve seen in all the other V-series handsticks. For those who’ve used any other Dyson stick vacuum, you’ll know that the trigger needs to be constantly pressed when using the appliance and can cause wrist fatigue or pain, particularly when trying to maneuver the vacuum in different directions.  

This power button, in our opinion, is a wonderful change as it removes the issue of wrist/hand pain – press once to turn on, press again to turn off. That said, it needs your free hand to press each time, so this V-series model isn’t meant for one-handed use as its other siblings.

The only other major difference between the V12 and the V15 is the bin capacity. As mentioned earlier, the V12 comes with a 0.35L bin – the same one used in the Omni-Glide – and is just enough for a one-bedroom apartment. If you happen to live in a larger home, especially one with wall-to-wall carpeting, then you’ll find yourself emptying the bin often. 

The mechanism to empty the canister is the same as in the V11 and V15 models, but here it’s not as hygienic, as we found you need to stick your fingers in to pull out hair, fur and fluff. If you’re not too fussed about that, then pretty much everything else about the V12 is like the V15, including the attachments that ship with it. That said, the Hair Screw Tool that comes with the V12 is slightly different from that of the V15 and they aren’t interchangeable.

Look real closely, though, and you’ll find the flower-like arrangement of the radial cyclones is also slimmer than the V11 or the V15. Where these two models have 14 radial cyclones, the V12 Detect Slim only has 11. That means lesser suction as compared to the V11 or the V15, but even on the lowest mode, there’s plenty here to do a pretty good job.

The smaller bin and lesser number of radial cyclones inside means the V12 is lighter than the V11 or V15. It weighs just 2.2kg (as compared to over 3kg for the other two) with a cleaning head attached, and also happens to be 3cm shorter than the V15. The lighter weight makes it a lot easier to hold the handheld unit aloft for getting at ceiling corners as compared to the V15, and also makes it easier to move across a floor.

Despite the lower price tag, you still get the digital display with the graphical representation of particle size and number displayed, along with the remaining runtime on each power mode. The suction level selection button is elongated, though, as compared to the silver circle on the V11 and V15 models.

The clip-on battery pack from the V11 has also made its way here, so if you think 60 minutes of max runtime isn’t going to do it for you, you can always consider buying an extra one to swap out when necessary. The slightly uneven weight distribution we found on the V15 because of the clip-on battery is thankfully not an issue here.

The Laser Slim Fluffy that’s the headline act of the V15 has made its way into the V12 box as well. In both cases, we found that the casters used on the Laser Slim Fluffy tool aren’t great when trying to move the handstick at an angle or backwards, making the High Torque cleaning head our favorite attachment for general use.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim: performance

  • Reactive suction
  • Laser light to highlight dirt
  • Three suction modes

There’s no denying the V15 Detect is the most powerful Dyson handstick yet, but if you happen to live in a home with mostly hard floors and you’re lusting after the Laser Slim Fluffy cleaning head, you won’t regret getting the V12 Detect Slim. When it comes to suction power, even the lowest setting – called Eco – is more than enough for general cleaning. There are two more higher power settings available, but you will be eating into the limited 60-minute battery life, especially when using the motorized cleaning heads.

During our testing we found that the Eco mode did a good job on carpets, although if it’s a particularly ‘hairy’ task, it takes a few back-and-fro movements to get it all off. On hard floors, though, no job is too hard as both the Laser Slim Fluffy or the High Torque attachments suck up anything in their path easily enough on the lowest suction mode.

The lower suction power is because the V12 has a lesser number of radial cyclones than the V11 or V15 – three less to be precise. But consider this to be a better version of the V10 – which isn’t a slouch in its own right – and you realise how capable the V12 Detect Slim is.

If you need proof of how well it can clean, all you need to do is use the Laser Slim Fluffy (designed specifically for hard floors) and watch as the illuminated dust and dirt get sucked up. Or you can keep an eye on the display and watch as the graph changes – although after a few uses we found ourselves barely looking at the display except to keep an eye on the remaining runtime.

Be careful when using the Hair Screw Tool though. While it’s absolutely brilliant at sucking up hair and fur without tangling anywhere, it does also gobble up slim charging cables with ease. It’s best used on furniture or pet beds, but you can (theoretically) also use it on a floor. However, as with the V15 Detect, the attachment’s small footprint means it will take a long time to go over every inch of the floor space. 

And because of the slightly unwieldy nature of the Laser Slim Fluffy casters, we found ourselves using the High Torque cleaning head the most, on both carpets and hard floors.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim: battery life

  • Up to 60 minutes
  • Recharges in 4.5 hours
  • Swappable battery pack

There are no compromises when it comes to battery life. Dyson seems to have used the same battery capacity on the V12 as it has on the V11 and V15 models, with a maximum runtime of 60 minutes, and it’s fade-free. So if the appliance has run out of juice, it just stops, with no change in suction whatsoever.

However, you get the full 60 minutes only when using the Eco mode with a non-motorized attachment. With the High Torque cleaning head, for example, we got about 46 minutes of power on the Eco mode, but the full hour when the Combination tool was attached.

On the Auto mode, we got a maximum of 40 minutes of fade-free power, while the Boost mode gave us no more than 20 minutes with the Laser Slim Fluffy. And that’s pretty much the same as what the V15 Detect offers as well.

If you think you may need more than 60 minutes, you do have the option of purchasing a second battery pack to swap out when necessary.

Should I buy the Dyson V12 Detect Slim?

Buy it if…

You want a laser-lit Dyson without paying top dollar

Although the Laser Slim Fluffy seems like a novelty, it does have its uses when trying to find dust and dirt gathered under furniture or in corners where you normally wouldn’t spot them. This is the headline-act of the V15 Detect and you get it by default with the V12 Detect Slim as well.

You live in a small home

The V12 Detect Slim’s bin capacity is enough for a single-bedroom home, but anything bigger, particularly if some (or all) rooms have carpets, then you’ll end up interrupting your vacuuming sessions just to empty the bin. If that doesn’t sound like something you’d want to do, you might want to consider opting for one of the Dyson V11 models instead, available for a similar price.

You really want the latest Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner

When it comes to vacuum cleaners, Dyson is arguably the most popular and, perhaps, the most coveted brand. So if the V15 Detect is beyond your budget, the V12 Detect Slim isn’t a bad alternative, if you can manage with the smaller bin and lower suction power.

Don’t buy it if…

You need a more powerful vacuum cleaner

When it comes to suction power, not all Dysons are made equal. While the V15 Detect is the most powerful yet, the V11 – with its 14 radial cyclones – is also a touch more powerful than the V12 Detect Slim. And considering they both have better bin capacities, they’re both far better options for anyone looking for a great new Dyson machine.

You’re on a budget

Even though the V12 Detect Slim is cheaper than the V15 Detect, it’s still quite expensive. For those on a tighter budget, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Dyson V10 Cyclone, which matches the V12’s suction power, offers a bigger bin and comes in at a far lower price than any of the newer models.

You need a larger, more hygienic bin

Having to empty the bin often may not seem like a chore, but if you need to stick your fingers in to pull out clumps of fluff and entangled hair, that’s far from ideal. That’s our biggest complaint with the V12 Detect Slim.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim Absolute Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Dust Don’t Stand a Chance

Dyson vacuum cleaners are legendary and the V12 Detect Slim Absolute is one of them. The laser will illuminate invisible dust, the piezoelectric sensor will automatically increase the power if necessary, and you can verify the excellent result of the work on the LCD screen.

Light but incredibly powerful

Dyson vacuum cleaners are ideal for those who want a truly perfect cleaning and are not ready to compromise. V12 Detect Slim Absolute received a powerful 150W motor, and at the same time the device weighs only 2.2 kg.

Dust won’t hide

There are a lot of interior design tricks to make dust less visible, and that’s great as long as you know exactly where to clean. Detect Slim Absolute is equipped with a laser that illuminates the dust while cleaning. Now even imperceptible dust will be accurately detected.

Automatic power adjustment

Laminate or carpet cleaning requires different power, and it depends a lot on the room. That is why the vacuum cleaner is equipped with a piezo sensor that evaluates the amount of dust and regulates the power of the Dyson Hyperdymium motor.

Powerful 3-in-1 cleaning

Vacuum cleaners, especially those from Dyson, are great for more than just cleaning floors. A convenient cordless vacuum cleaner will allow you to clean almost any corner of the room from the space under the furniture to the curtain rods.

Hair is not a problem

Long hair and pet hair are especially difficult to clean with a simple vacuum cleaner, because the device can either simply skip them or wrap them around the brush. The V12 Detect Slim Absolute is no ordinary vacuum cleaner. Brand engineers have developed a special brush that prevents tangling.

Anti-static brushes

Dust during cleaning can make real riots, and instead of submissively sent to the filter, scatter throughout the room. This is partly due to static electricity. To protect against an unpleasant physical phenomenon, the manufacturer has developed special antistatic carbon fiber brushes.

Captures very fine dust

Coarse dust, which is perfectly visible, is not the most dangerous for a person, because in this case only aesthetic feelings suffer. Much more dangerous is fine dust, which is not visible, but it is precisely this that accumulates in the lungs. Dyson filter system captures dust 99.99% microscopic particles down to 0.3 microns.

Wall Mount

The Dyson V12 Detect Slim is designed to be in order, not to disturb it. The package includes a wall-mounted charging dock, where you can place the device while it is waiting for the next cleaning.

Hassle-free maintenance

Sometimes when emptying awkward dust bins, most of the dust is thrown back into the air and it’s time to start vacuuming again. Fortunately, this is not the case with Dyson. A convenient system allows you to quickly clean the dust container without even touching the dirty parts with your hands, and the dust will definitely fall directly into the bin.

Dyson V12 Detect Slim Motorhead Cordless Upright Vacuum Cleaner

Dust Has No Chance

Dyson vacuum cleaners are legendary and the V12 Detect Slim Motorhead is one of them. The laser will illuminate invisible dust, the piezoelectric sensor will automatically increase the power if necessary, and you can verify the excellent result of the work on the LCD screen.

I wore the Dyson Zone around an NYC covered in wildfire smoke

Like the rest of New York City, I looked outside my window yesterday and thought I’d been transported to the apocalypse. It’d been cloudy when I went on my morning run, but it hadn’t been orange. It’s then that I noticed all the notifications I’d silenced working heads-down that morning — texts from family and friends about Canadian wildfires, air quality indexes, and so, so, so many memes.

One text read, “Hey Vee, when are you gonna break out the Dyson Zone?”

When I reviewed the Zone in April, the air purification aspect seemed more science fiction than real life. My biggest enemies had been stinky car exhaust fumes, the NYC subway system, and maybe some overzealous pollen. To me, the $949 Zone had felt like a proof-of-concept gadget seeking to solve some faraway problem — either in the future or in distant locales with worse daily air quality. But here was a chance to briefly ignore the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s recommendations, venture outside with the Zone on, and really put the air purifying features to the test. And if you’ve already seen the TikTok, you know that things didn’t go exactly as I’d expected.

Define “good” in this dystopian hellscape

A quick note: I don’t recommend anyone strap on a futuristic pair of headphones that double as a wearable air purifier and stride out into hazardous conditions. My spouse wouldn’t let me out without an N95 mask, and my editor reminded me that under no conditions was I to put my safety on the line for Content. Also, my mini-test was exactly that. A mini-test, and it wouldn’t pass muster for scientific rigor because I was out there for all of 20 minutes and had no other sensors to compare data from. My goal was to get out there quickly, see what the Zone told me, and get a taste of a future where people theoretically wear devices like this on days when orange smog blocks out the sun.

So yes, I did flip when, after a few minutes of walking, I opened the MyDyson app to see the “Air Quality (NO2) around me” metric was in the green. It was, the graph said, Good. Surely not. The air still smelled like someone was burning 1,000 cigarettes, even as I kept pinching down the bridge of my N95 mask for a better fit. I walked around my neighborhood a few times, gaping at the graph even as I could hear the Zone’s fans whirring loudly.

I was baffled and, frankly, sensorily overwhelmed. The Zone, which is primarily a pair of noise-canceling headphones, did a good job of dampening the wailing sirens from fire trucks echoing across the river in Manhattan. But you could still hear them if you’re not playing music. (And it really felt wrong to put on some jaunty tunes at that time.) Even so, it’s also amazing — not in a good way — how quickly you can become used to absurd circumstances. Once I had a chance to gather a quarter of my wits, I remembered that the Zone only live tracks nitrogen dioxide.

Dyson determines air quality based on the concentration of nitrogen dioxide and “other oxidizing gases.” The filters in the cans are supposed to capture ultrafine particles, odors, and nitrogen dioxide in city fumes. The EPA says that NO2 pollution in the air largely stems from emissions from cars, trucks, buses, power plants, and off-roading equipment. The apocalyptic soup I was in was wildfire smoke. And that is a potent cocktail of particulate matter, carbon dioxide, water vapor, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and other trace minerals. When they spread and damage man-made structures, it adds other chemicals and gases to the mix.

This is the main menu you’ll see. However, the live tracking only detects nitrogen dioxide concentrations.Screenshot: Victoria Song

You can see average regional data, but you have to swipe down to see this menu.Screenshot: Victoria Song / The Verge

The only thing the Zone was telling me was that, in the area around me, the concentration of nitrogen dioxide was not at a harmful level. It was not saying the air as a whole was of good quality.

But shouldn’t Dyson provide that context? Technically, it does. At the top of the app, you can see a banner that tells you PM2.5 and PM10 ratings. PM2.5 consists of microscopic particles measuring less than 2.5 microns, while PM10 refers to slightly bigger particles under 10 microns. The former often comes from burning fuels and organic compounds, while the latter can be found in dust, pollen, and mold. Both are inhalable and can cause adverse health effects. As far as wildfires go, these are more useful metrics in gauging air pollution, along with the Air Quality Index (AQI).

If you swipe down, you’ll see a larger readout of the data average for your region. That included a big readout of “Very Unhealthy” and, in smaller numbers underneath, the AQI. If you look at that, you can at least put two and two together that no, in fact, the air quality was shite.

The Zone’s electrostatic filter can purportedly filter particles up to 0. 1 microns.Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge

I have some concerns here. I consider myself a reasonable, level-headed person, and most people in my life would agree. I was aware of all the above before stepping out into the orange haze. This nuanced information flew straight out of my brain and into the polluted smoke as soon as I started walking around. I’ve never experienced wildfire smoke before! It smelled terrible! I kept thinking I was walking around in a video game — and judging by the looks I got from other masked-up New Yorkers, I’m pretty sure they also thought I was some kind of video game or anime character. Those were the things running through my head first — not the science of particulates, filtration systems, and app design.

It’s my job to poke around through apps to read educational text and look things up. I doubt the average person would stand around in conditions like yesterday and think, “Wait, let me swipe to see the more detailed environmental information Dyson has provided. ” They’re going to look at the big graph with the moving green line and think, “This is fake news.”

So does it work for wildfires?

Dyson claims that the Zone can filter out particles as small as 0.1 micron, which is theoretically smaller than the PM2.5 and PM10 particulates. I have no way to test the accuracy of that claim, but I can tell you the visor does not form a seal around your nose and mouth.

Against my better judgment, I did walk around for a few minutes with my N95 mask off, the fans going at full blast, and as little space as possible between the visor and my mouth and nose. Did I feel a cool blast of noticeably cleaner-smelling air in my face? Yes. Was it refreshing? A little, yeah. Did I also smell and breathe in the horrible hellscape around me? Also yes. With the N95 mask on, however, I didn’t feel as if that cleaner air pocket got through at all.

However, when you wear the visor, there is a gap between your mouth and nose and the device. So even if you’re getting cleaner air to breathe, it’s not going to protect you, per se, on days like yesterday.Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge

Speaking purely from a practicality standpoint, it does not make sense, then, to buy the $949 Zone thinking it will help you the next time — and I’m sure there’ll be a next time — the sky turns orange. Again, this is a pair of headphones that can filter nitrogen dioxide when you’re walking around a “normal” level of “everyday” city pollution, provided you don’t care that people might stare at the futuristic design or that the air filtering kills battery life. I did not walk out yesterday with a full battery charge, but I had about 50 percent when I walked out into the smoke. It didn’t last more than 20 minutes with the filtering on.

There’s some consumer-level schadenfreude to be had from this experience. “Oh man, look at the expensive futuristic gadget that doesn’t even 100 percent protect you!” In a time of economic turbulence and horrible news cycles, there’s catharsis in laughing at tech companies. Apple’s new Vision Pro has the same fundamental problem. You want people to pay how much for a thing that does… what again? Have you seen inflation pricing, skyrocketing mortgage rates, and mass layoffs this past year?

But unlike the Vision Pro, you could argue that Dyson is thinking about a more urgent problem that needs solving now. I don’t think a $949 device that’s mostly a pair of headphones is the answer to what we’re going to do about worsening air pollution. I do think, however, that the Zone as a concept is onto something. It is not the only smart mask out here addressing terrible air quality, but it happens to be the one most people are intrigued by. The smog-filled cities of science fiction are no longer quite a dystopia. They’re here, now, and perhaps it’s time more companies started thinking of what to do about it.

Personal Experience

I recently purchased the Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Ball Animal 2, Iron/Purple to help with my weekly cleaning routine. I have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to purchase such an expensive vacuum cleaner, but I was quickly reassured by the customer reviews I read. I was especially impressed by the amount of dirt and dust it was able to pick up in one pass on my carpets. The ball steering was also a major plus, making it very easy to maneuver around furniture and tight corners. I was also pleased with the whole machine filtration feature, as I have allergies and was worried about dust being released back into the air.

The only issue I had was with the assembly. The instructions were a bit confusing, and I found it difficult to get the handle of the vacuum to lock into the upright position properly. After a couple of tries, however, I was able to get it working.

Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and would definitely recommend the Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner, Ball Animal 2, Iron/Purple to anyone who is looking for a powerful, efficient and easy to use vacuum cleaner.

Compare Miele Upright to Dyson Ball Vacuum

In the United States, most people use traditional upright vacuum cleaners to clean their homes, and in the domestic market there are hundreds if not thousands of choices. There are, however, two basic problems with the design of older uprights. The first is that the uprights center of gravity is often too high. There is not a proper balance between the base and the body of the vacuum, and often, while using the hose to clean upholstery or to dust, this imbalance causes the vacuum to tip over and fall. Traditional uprights also tend to be difficult to steer around right corners or furniture. The second problem is caused by the fixed wheels on conventional vacuums which are designed to move in straight lines backward and forward. With traditional upright vacuum cleaners it is difficult to make sharp turns. As a result, you often miss spots while cleaning.

Two vacuum manufacturers have taken these challenges head on, Miele and Dyson. Both are tackling this issue in two different ways. In 2005 Dyson introduced the Dyson Ball vacuum cleaners. This upright vacuum cleaner features a round, ball-like encasing which houses the motor. This ball also acts as the main steering mechanism of this vacuum cleaner. In lieu of wheels, the Dyson pivots on this ball and uses rear wheels and the brush roll to help stabilize the vacuum.

In December of 2008, Miele introduced its first full-size upright vacuum cleaner. And in keeping with addressing traditional issues with uprights, the Miele upright vacuum cleaners feature a Swivel-Neck design. This design creates a pivot point between the vertical body of the vacuum cleaner and the base. Most importantly, this design means the majority of the weight of the vacuum is carried by the base while in use. Like the Dyson, with a turn of the wrist you smoothly manipulate Miele’s swivel-neck feature, resulting in better cornering capability and a much more fluid sense of movement. The U1 upright still has four wheels, but in a departure from conventional models the front two caster style wheels swivel a full 360 degrees. Combined, these features give the Miele Dynamic U1 uprights (formerly S7) unprecedented maneuverability and control. This design saves time in that you will rarely find yourself moving furniture to vacuum underneath or around it, and the increased flexibility and mobility makes cleaning quicker and more efficient.

Compare Miele Upright to Dyson Ball Vacuum Cleaner

 
So how do these two different brands compare? When it comes to maneuverability, the Dyson Ball is designed to perform in a similar manner as the Miele Swivel-Neck. However, there are several key differences between these two vacuums.

  • The Miele upright vacuum cleaners have four wheels, the front two of which rotate a full 360 degrees. To reduce the straight line motion of the rear wheels, while in use, they recess into the body of the vacuum. While in use, the Dyson lacks wheels in favor of the ball. The ball with the roller brush assembly gives you two points of contact while cleaning.
  • The four wheels of the Miele upright work to stabilize the Miele, particularly while not in use or while using the hose and wand, with one of the three included attachments. The Dyson relies on the ball, brush roll and two rear wheels, spaced out behind the ball, to maintain balance. When using the wand and hose, the hose-lock feature of the Miele provides added stability.
  • Both vacuums can lie flat while in use, but the six inch profile the Miele Dynamic U1 upright, as opposed to a 12-14 inch depth of the Dyson, gives U1 a decided edge when cleaning under beds, tables, chairs and other furniture.
  • Lastly, the Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaners can be considered more aesthetically pleasing than the Dyson uprights. While this may seem like a trivial point to some, if you have two similar vacuum cleaners, the appearance can be a decisive factor in your choice.

While both vacuums are similar, yet different, when it comes to addressing maneuverability, there are several other major differences between the features of the Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaner and Dyson Ball.

  • The Miele upright vacuum cleaners feature two independent motors. The powerful Vortex motor provides more than ample suction, while a separate motor powers the roller brush. This gives you the flexibility to clean carpets with the powerful brush roll AND to clean smooth flooring by disengaging the brush roll and using straight suction. The design gives you remarkable cleaning versatility.
  • Dyson relies on bagless dirt retention while Miele uses a 9 ply, AirClean U bag. Though you do have to replace bags, the self-sealing, electrostatically charged, U bags are far more hygienic and keep dirt, dust, dander and other allergens trapped. Dyson even recommends that you empty the canister into a bag. If you are emptying it into a bag, why not collect it in a bag to begin with?
  • The AirClean bags hold more debris and dirt than the Dyson’s canister, Miele’s 1.36 gal. vs Dyson’s .55 gal (from the model compared). These bags are flexible and allow more greater compaction of materials. Simply, the density and volume of material these bags can retain are more than that of the Dyson Ball.
  • The U1 uprights feature the same Sealed System found in the Miele Canisters. This filters all allergens down to .1 microns. Additionally, Miele air filtration meets the stringent European h23 filtration standards.
  • The Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaners feature a longer cord, longer reach hose and telescopic wand than Dyson uprights. These give you a far greater cleaning range from a single outlet, 55 feet for the Miele upright vs 51.7 feet for the longest reaching Dyson upright.
  • Unlike the Dyson, each of the new S7 upright vacuum cleaners has a LED brush light to enhance visibility of the area you are cleaning.
  • The Miele uprights come with a longer warranty, 7 years, compared to 5 for the Dyson models.

While both Dyson and Miele are built to be nimble and more maneuverable than traditional uprights, differences between these vacuums are abundant. Whether we examine suction, ease of use, filtration standards, overall cleaning capability, or simply choice in color, the Miele Dynamic U1 upright vacuum cleaners outpace the competition. The Dyson Ball models cost between $399 and $700, while the Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaners range from $449 and $900. However, when you compare these two vacuum cleaners, you realize that you truly do get what you pay for.

How to clean the brush of a Dyson vacuum cleaner? Caring for your Dyson vacuum cleaner

The Dyson vacuum cleaner is an innovative solution for cleaning your home. It is able to effectively clean any coatings and surfaces with the appropriate nozzles and brushes. In order for the nozzles of the device to retain their effectiveness for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for them and clean them in a timely manner.

In the absence of proper care, the tightness of the contour to smooth surfaces is disturbed, carpets are combed much worse, and the entire vacuum cleaner as a whole loses power. By following simple cleaning instructions, you can maintain excellent cleaning quality for a long time.

Care Instructions for the Dyson Torque Turbo Brush (for carpets and hard floors)

1. Turn off the Dyson after vacuuming.

2. By pressing the orange button located on the handle, you need to disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

3. Turn the nozzle over.

4. Wipe the protective panel with a dry soft cloth to remove any dust.

5. Use a coin to open the housing containing the brush. To do this, the coin must be inserted into the appropriate end cap located on the side, and then rotated approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise.

6. On the same side, pull on the brush to remove it from the nozzle shaft.

7. Check the nozzle shaft for dirt. If threads, hair and other fibers are wrapped around the mechanisms, carefully unwind them with your hands or with scissors and tweezers.

8. Do the same with the brush itself, removing debris from it.

9. Remove the side of the brush and check for debris (hair and fur can get into the holes). Remove accumulated debris if necessary.

10. Push the side of the brush back into place.

11. Place the brush inside the nozzle shaft and secure by turning a coin inserted into the hole in the opposite direction.

After that, you can connect the nozzle to the vacuum cleaner handle and continue using it. Cleaning of this type is recommended to be carried out at least after every 3-4 cleanings.

Important! Always remove the brush from the nozzle to ensure that the accessory is cleaned effectively and dust, hair and wool deposits do not affect the operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Dust and dirt accumulate in the base of the motor, which can prevent the shaft from rotating properly and the vacuum cleaner to work effectively.

Important! Washing the brush under running water is not recommended . If you remove the end cap from the roller, you will find a bearing inside it. Contact with moisture can cause corrosion, which will affect the rotation of the shaft and the operation of the device.

Timely and regular removal of hair and other fibers from the nozzle reduces the load on the device’s motor, as well as guaranteeing its full power during each cleaning.

Cleaning the Dyson soft roller nozzle.

In order to maintain the soft roller nozzle, users need to:

1. Detach the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner handle by pressing the orange button.

2. Turn the nozzle over.

3. Use a coin to turn the bolt counterclockwise.

4. Remove the side cap of the soft roller nozzle.

5. Detach the soft cushion from the main body by pulling it to the left and pull out the additional cover.

6. Rinse the soft roller under running water, carefully removing all visible dirt.

7. Shake the soft roller well to remove excess moisture.

8. Rinse the accessory pad under running water to remove all dirt.

9. Shake to remove excess water.

10. Leave the soft roller and additional pad to dry naturally in an upright position.

11. After complete drying, install the soft roller and the additional pad in place.

12. Insert the side plug and secure.

13. Turn the locking mechanism clockwise using a coin.

The cleaning nozzle can then be used again.

Do not use the soft roller attachment until dry.

Important! When cleaning, do not rub the roller with a sponge, cloth or use any cleaning agents. The soft roller is easily washed under running water, which ensures effective cleaning and does not damage the integrity of the fabric.

Cleaning the mini electric brush of the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner

Cleaning the nozzle for collecting hair and dirt in hard-to-reach places is carried out in much the same way as in the case of a turbo brush:

1. Disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

2. Using a coin, open the lock button located on the back of the element.

3. Disassemble the brush by pulling out the inner bristle roller.

4. Use scissors and tweezers to remove tangled hair, fur and other debris from the brush.

5. Optionally, wipe the roller with a damp cloth to remove dust particles.

6. Remove dust and dirt from the inside of the nozzle body using a dry soft cloth or cotton buds.

7. After cleaning, assemble the nozzle and lock the lock button by turning it clockwise.

Important! Do not clean the Mini Electric Brush under running water. The product can be cleaned exclusively with a dry method, in rare cases using wet wipes.

Upright vacuum cleaner: tips for choosing. Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner: Model

Overview

Home cleaning will be easier and faster with the purchase of a new, more functional vacuum cleaner. One of the modern options for household appliances for putting things in order is a vertical vacuum cleaner. We will analyze the features of his choice in this article.

  • What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Design Features

An upright vacuum cleaner has a motor and dust collector mounted on a telescopic rod and usually has a battery. No need to move the case on wheels, behind which a long wire stretches. The charge is enough for an average of 20-50 minutes of operation, but there are models powered by a cord, from an outlet: they are lighter than rechargeable ones and still much more convenient than standard case vacuum cleaners.

This is a compact and manoeuvrable device that can complement a classic vacuum cleaner and completely replace it for cleaning a small apartment. Suitable for those who often have to use a vacuum cleaner, for example, families with small children, those who have pets. It is convenient to use in a house where there are steps and other hard-to-reach places. Such a vacuum cleaner will help with cleaning in “hot” areas: kitchen, hallway, nursery.

Upright vacuum cleaner can pick up dust and debris, handle pet hair well, and some models can even mop floors. It will cope with different surfaces: with smooth floors and carpets, with tiles, wood, laminate and soft fleecy carpets.

Advantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main advantage of the device is its compactness and ease of use. The absence of wires in most models allows you to easily move the device without worrying about the presence of an outlet nearby.

This vacuum cleaner is easy to store. It can be fixed in a vertical position, for which a wall holder is provided. This will save the usable space of the room and apartment.

The battery model takes approximately 5-6 hours to recharge. A battery charge is usually enough for a full cleaning (20 to 60 minutes). If you didn’t have time to complete it, many models have a quick charge function (it will help to partially restore the battery in a few minutes).

The built-in dust and dirt container is easy to clean – it is removable, so you just need to shake out the dirt and rinse the container with water. Often the waste container of an upright vacuum cleaner is transparent. So you can always see the level of occupancy. There are models with disposable and reusable bags made of fabric or paper as a dust collector.

There are upright vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function. The kit includes a pair of removable tanks. One for the bay clean, the other – to collect dirty water.

Upright vacuum cleaners can also be equipped with a steam mop function to wash off dirt with a hot water spray. But such options increase the cost of the device.

Some models of modern upright vacuum cleaners have a warning system – it tells you about the need for maintenance: cleaning the dust container, nozzle or filter.

2-in-1 upright vacuum cleaners, by detaching the extension tube, can be converted into a portable handheld device. Convenient for restoring order in the car – the power of the vacuum cleaner is enough for a full cleaning of the interior. Angled, slotted brushes, turbo brush, will help to clean hard-to-reach places: between seat cushions, under chairs.

Disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners: low power (cannot cope with heavy pollution), as well as a small capacity of the dust collector.

If you are planning a large-scale cleaning in a large apartment, then this unit may not be able to do it. You will need a washing vacuum cleaner or a powerful model for dry cleaning.

Upright vacuum cleaners are designed with small dust collectors: from 200 to 1000 ml. This is enough for several cleanings in a 2-3-room apartment – you need to clean an upright vacuum cleaner more often than a classic one.

A problem with an upright vacuum cleaner without a power cord can be the replacement of an exhausted branded battery pack. This is often an expensive item.

Review of upright vacuum cleaner Dyson V8 Absolute

Let’s examine the features of a cordless upright vacuum cleaner using the model from Dyson – V8 Absolute as an example.

The device performs dry cleaning with a maximum suction power of 115 W. The transparent case of the dust container of the Dyson V8 Absolute allows you to quickly assess the degree of its fullness. The container can store approximately 0.5 liters of dust. The mesh filter (responsible for filtering dust in the air) can be easily removed and washed.

Most of the parts are made of hard ABS plastic. The extension tube is made of aluminium, anodized on the outside. Both materials are scratch resistant. This vacuum cleaner weighs 2.6 kg.

The vacuum cleaner is considered a hybrid, or “2in1”: you can remove the telescopic tube and use the vacuum cleaner as a small portable cleaner.

After cleaning, the device is fixed on a stand with an integrated charging station. It will take approximately 4 hours to fully charge the vacuum cleaner. You can also attach 2 non-motorized attachments to the stand mount.

The vacuum cleaner is controlled by a button on the handle without fixing (it works only by pressing) – it saves battery consumption. In standard mode, the vacuum cleaner can work for about 40 minutes. The maximum power mode can be used for 7 minutes.

At the same time, the noise level of the device is at an acceptable level – about 70 dB.

Total set of 6 nozzles:

  • universal direct drive;
  • combined;
  • slotted;
  • soft roller;
  • mini electric brush;
  • brush with soft bristles.

The Dyson V8 Absolute is a stylish and functional hybrid vacuum cleaner that can handle short cleaning sessions in your apartment or house. It is quiet and lightweight, can work in several modes, and a large number of nozzles will allow you to remove dirt and dust in hard-to-reach places, including the car interior. And it’s also convenient to use, quick to clean and easy to store – with a wall bracket, the V8 Absolute takes up very little space and is always charged.

What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Before buying an upright vacuum cleaner, pay attention to the following important parameters:

  • suction power;
  • dust container volume;
  • weight and dimensions;
  • nutritional features;
  • noise;
  • number and type of nozzles included.

The more powerful the vacuum cleaner, the more efficient it works: for upright vacuum cleaners, the optimal value is a suction power in the range of 100-170 W.

The average volume of the dust container is 0.3-0.6 liters. This is enough for daily maintenance of cleanliness in the house: cleaning small debris in the kitchen and dust in the hallway.

The lighter the vacuum cleaner, the better. For a large apartment or house, this option is only suitable as an additional assistant.

Upright vacuum cleaners can be powered by mains or batteries. When choosing wired ones, pay attention to the length of the cord and the possibility of automatic winding. Cordless vacuum cleaners have different battery life.

The lower the noise level of the vacuum cleaner, the more pleasant the cleaning process will be for everyone around. The acceptable noise level for upright vacuum cleaners is 70 dB.

Also, a modern upright vacuum cleaner should have a set of additional nozzles.

  • Classic vacuum cleaner: The classic corded vacuum cleaner is the best choice for cleaning larger areas and for longer cleaning sessions. A vacuum cleaner with a bag is also better if you have allergies, as the bag prevents particles such as allergens from spreading in the air.

  • Upright vacuum cleaner: An upright vacuum cleaner is ideal for quick clean-ups. Since they’re usually both bagless and cordless, they’re very convenient and lighter than canister vacuums – but can’t clean for as long due to limited battery life. So they’re most suitable if you live in a small house or apartment.

  • Robot vacuum cleaner: The best choice if you hate vacuuming or need to clean frequently. A robot is self-propelled, but requires the floor to be level and the furniture to be placed in a way that ensures it won’t get stuck.

  • Vacuum cleaners aren’t just for your floors, they can help you clean upholstery, counter tops, curtains, etc. So buy a model that comes with accessories or is adaptable – such as different types of nozzles – for vacuuming mouldings, sofas and suchlike.

  • Look for vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters if you have allergies or are sensitive to dust. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and means that 99.95% of small micro-particles, such as dust, dust mites and pollen, are trapped in the filter.

  • Some vacuum cleaners have a built-in mop that makes cleaning even easier and offers a convenient all-in-one solution.

It sucks when your vacuum cleaner loses suction. So look for reviews from people who have had the vacuum cleaner for a long time to find out how well it lasts. If the battery drains faster and faster, it may not be the model you want for the long haul.

Like most other things, vacuum cleaners need to be maintained in order to function properly and last longer. Here are some tips on how you can keep your vacuum cleaner in good condition.

How to clean the brush of a Dyson vacuum cleaner? Caring for your Dyson vacuum cleaner

The Dyson vacuum cleaner is an innovative solution for cleaning your home. It is able to effectively clean any coatings and surfaces with the appropriate nozzles and brushes. In order for the nozzles of the device to retain their effectiveness for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for them and clean them in a timely manner.

In the absence of proper care, the tightness of the contour to smooth surfaces is disturbed, carpets are combed much worse, and the entire vacuum cleaner as a whole loses power. By following simple cleaning instructions, you can maintain excellent cleaning quality for a long time.

Care Instructions for the Dyson Torque Turbo Brush (for carpets and hard floors)

1. Turn off the Dyson after vacuuming.

2. By pressing the orange button located on the handle, you need to disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

3. Turn the nozzle over.

4. Wipe the protective panel with a dry soft cloth to remove any dust.

5. Use a coin to open the housing containing the brush. To do this, the coin must be inserted into the appropriate end cap located on the side, and then rotated approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise.

6. On the same side, pull on the brush to remove it from the nozzle shaft.

7. Check the nozzle shaft for dirt. If threads, hair and other fibers are wrapped around the mechanisms, carefully unwind them with your hands or with scissors and tweezers.

8. Do the same with the brush itself, removing debris from it.

9. Remove the side of the brush and check for debris (hair and fur can get into the holes). Remove accumulated debris if necessary.

10. Push the side of the brush back into place.

11. Place the brush inside the nozzle shaft and secure by turning a coin inserted into the hole in the opposite direction.

After that, you can connect the nozzle to the vacuum cleaner handle and continue using it. Cleaning of this type is recommended to be carried out at least after every 3-4 cleanings.

Important! Always remove the brush from the nozzle to ensure that the accessory is cleaned effectively and dust, hair and wool deposits do not affect the operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Dust and dirt accumulate in the base of the motor, which can prevent the shaft from rotating properly and the vacuum cleaner to work effectively.

Important! Washing the brush under running water is not recommended . If you remove the end cap from the roller, you will find a bearing inside it. Contact with moisture can cause corrosion, which will affect the rotation of the shaft and the operation of the device.

Timely and regular removal of hair and other fibers from the nozzle reduces the load on the device’s motor, as well as guaranteeing its full power during each cleaning.

Cleaning the Dyson soft roller nozzle.

In order to maintain the soft roller nozzle, users need to:

1. Detach the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner handle by pressing the orange button.

2. Turn the nozzle over.

3. Use a coin to turn the bolt counterclockwise.

4. Remove the side cap of the soft roller nozzle.

5. Detach the soft cushion from the main body by pulling it to the left and pull out the additional cover.

6. Rinse the soft roller under running water, carefully removing all visible dirt.

7. Shake the soft roller well to remove excess moisture.

8. Rinse the accessory pad under running water to remove all dirt.

9. Shake to remove excess water.

10. Leave the soft roller and additional pad to dry naturally in an upright position.

11. After complete drying, install the soft roller and the additional pad in place.

12. Insert the side plug and secure.

13. Turn the locking mechanism clockwise using a coin.

The cleaning nozzle can then be used again.

Do not use the soft roller attachment until dry.

Important! When cleaning, do not rub the roller with a sponge, cloth or use any cleaning agents. The soft roller is easily washed under running water, which ensures effective cleaning and does not damage the integrity of the fabric.

Cleaning the mini electric brush of the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner

Cleaning the nozzle for collecting hair and dirt in hard-to-reach places is carried out in much the same way as in the case of a turbo brush:

1. Disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

2. Using a coin, open the lock button located on the back of the element.

3. Disassemble the brush by pulling out the inner bristle roller.

4. Use scissors and tweezers to remove tangled hair, fur and other debris from the brush.

5. Optionally, wipe the roller with a damp cloth to remove dust particles.

6. Remove dust and dirt from the inside of the nozzle body using a dry soft cloth or cotton buds.

7. After cleaning, assemble the nozzle and lock the lock button by turning it clockwise.

Important! Do not clean the Mini Electric Brush under running water. The product can be cleaned exclusively with a dry method, in rare cases using wet wipes.

Upright vacuum cleaner: tips for choosing. Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner: Model

Overview

Home cleaning will be easier and faster with the purchase of a new, more functional vacuum cleaner. One of the modern options for household appliances for putting things in order is a vertical vacuum cleaner. We will analyze the features of his choice in this article.

  • What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Design Features

An upright vacuum cleaner has a motor and dust collector mounted on a telescopic rod and usually has a battery. No need to move the case on wheels, behind which a long wire stretches. The charge is enough for an average of 20-50 minutes of operation, but there are models powered by a cord, from an outlet: they are lighter than rechargeable ones and still much more convenient than standard case vacuum cleaners.

This is a compact and manoeuvrable device that can complement a classic vacuum cleaner and completely replace it for cleaning a small apartment. Suitable for those who often have to use a vacuum cleaner, for example, families with small children, those who have pets. It is convenient to use in a house where there are steps and other hard-to-reach places. Such a vacuum cleaner will help with cleaning in “hot” areas: kitchen, hallway, nursery.

Upright vacuum cleaner can pick up dust and debris, handle pet hair well, and some models can even mop floors. It will cope with different surfaces: with smooth floors and carpets, with tiles, wood, laminate and soft fleecy carpets.

Advantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main advantage of the device is its compactness and ease of use. The absence of wires in most models allows you to easily move the device without worrying about the presence of an outlet nearby.

This vacuum cleaner is easy to store. It can be fixed in a vertical position, for which a wall holder is provided. This will save the usable space of the room and apartment.

The battery model takes approximately 5-6 hours to recharge. A battery charge is usually enough for a full cleaning (20 to 60 minutes). If you didn’t have time to complete it, many models have a quick charge function (it will help to partially restore the battery in a few minutes).

The built-in dust and dirt container is easy to clean – it is removable, so you just need to shake out the dirt and rinse the container with water. Often the waste container of an upright vacuum cleaner is transparent. So you can always see the level of occupancy. There are models with disposable and reusable bags made of fabric or paper as a dust collector.

There are upright vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function. The kit includes a pair of removable tanks. One for the bay clean, the other – to collect dirty water.

Upright vacuum cleaners can also be equipped with a steam mop function to wash off dirt with a hot water spray. But such options increase the cost of the device.

Some models of modern upright vacuum cleaners have a warning system – it tells you about the need for maintenance: cleaning the dust container, nozzle or filter.

2-in-1 upright vacuum cleaners, by detaching the extension tube, can be converted into a portable handheld device. Convenient for restoring order in the car – the power of the vacuum cleaner is enough for a full cleaning of the interior. Angled, slotted brushes, turbo brush, will help to clean hard-to-reach places: between seat cushions, under chairs.

  • Classic vacuum cleaner: The classic corded vacuum cleaner is the best choice for cleaning larger areas and for longer cleaning sessions. A vacuum cleaner with a bag is also better if you have allergies, as the bag prevents particles such as allergens from spreading in the air.

  • Upright vacuum cleaner: An upright vacuum cleaner is ideal for quick clean-ups. Since they’re usually both bagless and cordless, they’re very convenient and lighter than canister vacuums – but can’t clean for as long due to limited battery life. So they’re most suitable if you live in a small house or apartment.

  • Robot vacuum cleaner: The best choice if you hate vacuuming or need to clean frequently. A robot is self-propelled, but requires the floor to be level and the furniture to be placed in a way that ensures it won’t get stuck.

  • Vacuum cleaners aren’t just for your floors, they can help you clean upholstery, counter tops, curtains, etc. So buy a model that comes with accessories or is adaptable – such as different types of nozzles – for vacuuming mouldings, sofas and suchlike.

  • Look for vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters if you have allergies or are sensitive to dust. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and means that 99.95% of small micro-particles, such as dust, dust mites and pollen, are trapped in the filter.

  • Some vacuum cleaners have a built-in mop that makes cleaning even easier and offers a convenient all-in-one solution.

It sucks when your vacuum cleaner loses suction. So look for reviews from people who have had the vacuum cleaner for a long time to find out how well it lasts. If the battery drains faster and faster, it may not be the model you want for the long haul.

Like most other things, vacuum cleaners need to be maintained in order to function properly and last longer. Here are some tips on how you can keep your vacuum cleaner in good condition.

How to clean the brush of a Dyson vacuum cleaner? Caring for your Dyson vacuum cleaner

The Dyson vacuum cleaner is an innovative solution for cleaning your home. It is able to effectively clean any coatings and surfaces with the appropriate nozzles and brushes. In order for the nozzles of the device to retain their effectiveness for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for them and clean them in a timely manner.

In the absence of proper care, the tightness of the contour to smooth surfaces is disturbed, carpets are combed much worse, and the entire vacuum cleaner as a whole loses power. By following simple cleaning instructions, you can maintain excellent cleaning quality for a long time.

Care Instructions for the Dyson Torque Turbo Brush (for carpets and hard floors)

1. Turn off the Dyson after vacuuming.

2. By pressing the orange button located on the handle, you need to disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

3. Turn the nozzle over.

4. Wipe the protective panel with a dry soft cloth to remove any dust.

5. Use a coin to open the housing containing the brush. To do this, the coin must be inserted into the appropriate end cap located on the side, and then rotated approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise.

6. On the same side, pull on the brush to remove it from the nozzle shaft.

7. Check the nozzle shaft for dirt. If threads, hair and other fibers are wrapped around the mechanisms, carefully unwind them with your hands or with scissors and tweezers.

8. Do the same with the brush itself, removing debris from it.

9. Remove the side of the brush and check for debris (hair and fur can get into the holes). Remove accumulated debris if necessary.

10. Push the side of the brush back into place.

11. Place the brush inside the nozzle shaft and secure by turning a coin inserted into the hole in the opposite direction.

After that, you can connect the nozzle to the vacuum cleaner handle and continue using it. Cleaning of this type is recommended to be carried out at least after every 3-4 cleanings.

Important! Always remove the brush from the nozzle to ensure that the accessory is cleaned effectively and dust, hair and wool deposits do not affect the operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Dust and dirt accumulate in the base of the motor, which can prevent the shaft from rotating properly and the vacuum cleaner to work effectively.

Important! Washing the brush under running water is not recommended . If you remove the end cap from the roller, you will find a bearing inside it. Contact with moisture can cause corrosion, which will affect the rotation of the shaft and the operation of the device.

Timely and regular removal of hair and other fibers from the nozzle reduces the load on the device’s motor, as well as guaranteeing its full power during each cleaning.

Cleaning the Dyson soft roller nozzle.

In order to maintain the soft roller nozzle, users need to:

1. Detach the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner handle by pressing the orange button.

2. Turn the nozzle over.

3. Use a coin to turn the bolt counterclockwise.

4. Remove the side cap of the soft roller nozzle.

5. Detach the soft cushion from the main body by pulling it to the left and pull out the additional cover.

6. Rinse the soft roller under running water, carefully removing all visible dirt.

7. Shake the soft roller well to remove excess moisture.

8. Rinse the accessory pad under running water to remove all dirt.

9. Shake to remove excess water.

10. Leave the soft roller and additional pad to dry naturally in an upright position.

11. After complete drying, install the soft roller and the additional pad in place.

12. Insert the side plug and secure.

13. Turn the locking mechanism clockwise using a coin.

The cleaning nozzle can then be used again.

Do not use the soft roller attachment until dry.

Important! When cleaning, do not rub the roller with a sponge, cloth or use any cleaning agents. The soft roller is easily washed under running water, which ensures effective cleaning and does not damage the integrity of the fabric.

Cleaning the mini electric brush of the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner

Cleaning the nozzle for collecting hair and dirt in hard-to-reach places is carried out in much the same way as in the case of a turbo brush:

1. Disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

2. Using a coin, open the lock button located on the back of the element.

3. Disassemble the brush by pulling out the inner bristle roller.

4. Use scissors and tweezers to remove tangled hair, fur and other debris from the brush.

5. Optionally, wipe the roller with a damp cloth to remove dust particles.

6. Remove dust and dirt from the inside of the nozzle body using a dry soft cloth or cotton buds.

7. After cleaning, assemble the nozzle and lock the lock button by turning it clockwise.

Important! Do not clean the Mini Electric Brush under running water. The product can be cleaned exclusively with a dry method, in rare cases using wet wipes.

Upright vacuum cleaner: tips for choosing. Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner: Model

Overview

Home cleaning will be easier and faster with the purchase of a new, more functional vacuum cleaner. One of the modern options for household appliances for putting things in order is a vertical vacuum cleaner. We will analyze the features of his choice in this article.

  • Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Design Features
  • Dyson V8 Absolute 9 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review0039
  • What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Design Features

An upright vacuum cleaner has a motor and dust collector mounted on a telescopic rod and usually has a battery. No need to move the case on wheels, behind which a long wire stretches. The charge is enough for an average of 20-50 minutes of operation, but there are models powered by a cord, from an outlet: they are lighter than rechargeable ones and still much more convenient than standard case vacuum cleaners.

This is a compact and manoeuvrable device that can complement a classic vacuum cleaner and completely replace it for cleaning a small apartment. Suitable for those who often have to use a vacuum cleaner, for example, families with small children, those who have pets. It is convenient to use in a house where there are steps and other hard-to-reach places. Such a vacuum cleaner will help with cleaning in “hot” areas: kitchen, hallway, nursery.

Upright vacuum cleaner can pick up dust and debris, handle pet hair well, and some models can even mop floors. It will cope with different surfaces: with smooth floors and carpets, with tiles, wood, laminate and soft fleecy carpets.

Advantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main advantage of the device is its compactness and ease of use. The absence of wires in most models allows you to easily move the device without worrying about the presence of an outlet nearby.

This vacuum cleaner is easy to store. It can be fixed in a vertical position, for which a wall holder is provided. This will save the usable space of the room and apartment.

The battery model takes approximately 5-6 hours to recharge. A battery charge is usually enough for a full cleaning (20 to 60 minutes). If you didn’t have time to complete it, many models have a quick charge function (it will help to partially restore the battery in a few minutes).

The built-in dust and dirt container is easy to clean – it is removable, so you just need to shake out the dirt and rinse the container with water. Often the waste container of an upright vacuum cleaner is transparent. So you can always see the level of occupancy. There are models with disposable and reusable bags made of fabric or paper as a dust collector.

There are upright vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function. The kit includes a pair of removable tanks. One for the bay clean, the other – to collect dirty water.

Upright vacuum cleaners can also be equipped with a steam mop function to wash off dirt with a hot water spray. But such options increase the cost of the device.

Some models of modern upright vacuum cleaners have a warning system – it tells you about the need for maintenance: cleaning the dust container, nozzle or filter.

2-in-1 upright vacuum cleaners, by detaching the extension tube, can be converted into a portable handheld device. Convenient for restoring order in the car – the power of the vacuum cleaner is enough for a full cleaning of the interior. Angled, slotted brushes, turbo brush, will help to clean hard-to-reach places: between seat cushions, under chairs.

Disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners: low power (cannot cope with heavy pollution), as well as a small capacity of the dust collector.

If you are planning a large-scale cleaning in a large apartment, then this unit may not be able to do it. You will need a washing vacuum cleaner or a powerful model for dry cleaning.

Upright vacuum cleaners are designed with small dust collectors: from 200 to 1000 ml. This is enough for several cleanings in a 2-3-room apartment – you need to clean an upright vacuum cleaner more often than a classic one.

A problem with an upright vacuum cleaner without a power cord can be the replacement of an exhausted branded battery pack. This is often an expensive item.

Review of upright vacuum cleaner Dyson V8 Absolute

Let’s examine the features of a cordless upright vacuum cleaner using the model from Dyson – V8 Absolute as an example.

The device performs dry cleaning with a maximum suction power of 115 W. The transparent case of the dust container of the Dyson V8 Absolute allows you to quickly assess the degree of its fullness. The container can store approximately 0.5 liters of dust. The mesh filter (responsible for filtering dust in the air) can be easily removed and washed.

Most of the parts are made of hard ABS plastic. The extension tube is made of aluminium, anodized on the outside. Both materials are scratch resistant. This vacuum cleaner weighs 2.6 kg.

The vacuum cleaner is considered a hybrid, or “2in1”: you can remove the telescopic tube and use the vacuum cleaner as a small portable cleaner.

After cleaning, the device is fixed on a stand with an integrated charging station. It will take approximately 4 hours to fully charge the vacuum cleaner. You can also attach 2 non-motorized attachments to the stand mount.

The vacuum cleaner is controlled by a button on the handle without fixing (it works only by pressing) – it saves battery consumption. In standard mode, the vacuum cleaner can work for about 40 minutes. The maximum power mode can be used for 7 minutes.

At the same time, the noise level of the device is at an acceptable level – about 70 dB.

Total set of 6 nozzles:

  • universal direct drive;
  • combined;
  • slotted;
  • soft roller;
  • mini electric brush;
  • brush with soft bristles.

The Dyson V8 Absolute is a stylish and functional hybrid vacuum cleaner that can handle short cleaning sessions in your apartment or house. It is quiet and lightweight, can work in several modes, and a large number of nozzles will allow you to remove dirt and dust in hard-to-reach places, including the car interior. And it’s also convenient to use, quick to clean and easy to store – with a wall bracket, the V8 Absolute takes up very little space and is always charged.

What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Before buying an upright vacuum cleaner, pay attention to the following important parameters:

  • suction power;
  • dust container volume;
  • weight and dimensions;
  • nutritional features;
  • noise;
  • number and type of nozzles included.

The more powerful the vacuum cleaner, the more efficient it works: for upright vacuum cleaners, the optimal value is a suction power in the range of 100-170 W.

The average volume of the dust container is 0.3-0.6 liters. This is enough for daily maintenance of cleanliness in the house: cleaning small debris in the kitchen and dust in the hallway.

The lighter the vacuum cleaner, the better. For a large apartment or house, this option is only suitable as an additional assistant.

Upright vacuum cleaners can be powered by mains or batteries. When choosing wired ones, pay attention to the length of the cord and the possibility of automatic winding. Cordless vacuum cleaners have different battery life.

The lower the noise level of the vacuum cleaner, the more pleasant the cleaning process will be for everyone around. The acceptable noise level for upright vacuum cleaners is 70 dB.

Also, a modern upright vacuum cleaner should have a set of additional nozzles. The wider it is, the better the cleaning will be. For example, if you have pets at home, then you can’t do without a turbo nozzle for deep cleaning of coatings from wool.

Compare Miele Upright to Dyson Ball Vacuum

In the United States, most people use traditional upright vacuum cleaners to clean their homes, and in the domestic market there are hundreds if not thousands of choices. There are, however, two basic problems with the design of older uprights. The first is that the uprights center of gravity is often too high. There is not a proper balance between the base and the body of the vacuum, and often, while using the hose to clean upholstery or to dust, this imbalance causes the vacuum to tip over and fall. Traditional uprights also tend to be difficult to steer around right corners or furniture. The second problem is caused by the fixed wheels on conventional vacuums which are designed to move in straight lines backward and forward. With traditional upright vacuum cleaners it is difficult to make sharp turns. As a result, you often miss spots while cleaning.

Two vacuum manufacturers have taken these challenges head on, Miele and Dyson. Both are tackling this issue in two different ways. In 2005 Dyson introduced the Dyson Ball vacuum cleaners. This upright vacuum cleaner features a round, ball-like encasing which houses the motor. This ball also acts as the main steering mechanism of this vacuum cleaner. In lieu of wheels, the Dyson pivots on this ball and uses rear wheels and the brush roll to help stabilize the vacuum.

In December of 2008, Miele introduced its first full-size upright vacuum cleaner. And in keeping with addressing traditional issues with uprights, the Miele upright vacuum cleaners feature a Swivel-Neck design. This design creates a pivot point between the vertical body of the vacuum cleaner and the base. Most importantly, this design means the majority of the weight of the vacuum is carried by the base while in use. Like the Dyson, with a turn of the wrist you smoothly manipulate Miele’s swivel-neck feature, resulting in better cornering capability and a much more fluid sense of movement. The U1 upright still has four wheels, but in a departure from conventional models the front two caster style wheels swivel a full 360 degrees. Combined, these features give the Miele Dynamic U1 uprights (formerly S7) unprecedented maneuverability and control. This design saves time in that you will rarely find yourself moving furniture to vacuum underneath or around it, and the increased flexibility and mobility makes cleaning quicker and more efficient.

Compare Miele Upright to Dyson Ball Vacuum Cleaner

 
So how do these two different brands compare? When it comes to maneuverability, the Dyson Ball is designed to perform in a similar manner as the Miele Swivel-Neck. However, there are several key differences between these two vacuums.

  • The Miele upright vacuum cleaners have four wheels, the front two of which rotate a full 360 degrees. To reduce the straight line motion of the rear wheels, while in use, they recess into the body of the vacuum. While in use, the Dyson lacks wheels in favor of the ball. The ball with the roller brush assembly gives you two points of contact while cleaning.
  • The four wheels of the Miele upright work to stabilize the Miele, particularly while not in use or while using the hose and wand, with one of the three included attachments. The Dyson relies on the ball, brush roll and two rear wheels, spaced out behind the ball, to maintain balance. When using the wand and hose, the hose-lock feature of the Miele provides added stability.
  • Both vacuums can lie flat while in use, but the six inch profile the Miele Dynamic U1 upright, as opposed to a 12-14 inch depth of the Dyson, gives U1 a decided edge when cleaning under beds, tables, chairs and other furniture.
  • Lastly, the Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaners can be considered more aesthetically pleasing than the Dyson uprights. While this may seem like a trivial point to some, if you have two similar vacuum cleaners, the appearance can be a decisive factor in your choice.

While both vacuums are similar, yet different, when it comes to addressing maneuverability, there are several other major differences between the features of the Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaner and Dyson Ball.

  • The Miele upright vacuum cleaners feature two independent motors. The powerful Vortex motor provides more than ample suction, while a separate motor powers the roller brush. This gives you the flexibility to clean carpets with the powerful brush roll AND to clean smooth flooring by disengaging the brush roll and using straight suction. The design gives you remarkable cleaning versatility.
  • Dyson relies on bagless dirt retention while Miele uses a 9 ply, AirClean U bag. Though you do have to replace bags, the self-sealing, electrostatically charged, U bags are far more hygienic and keep dirt, dust, dander and other allergens trapped. Dyson even recommends that you empty the canister into a bag. If you are emptying it into a bag, why not collect it in a bag to begin with?
  • The AirClean bags hold more debris and dirt than the Dyson’s canister, Miele’s 1.36 gal. vs Dyson’s .55 gal (from the model compared). These bags are flexible and allow more greater compaction of materials. Simply, the density and volume of material these bags can retain are more than that of the Dyson Ball.
  • The U1 uprights feature the same Sealed System found in the Miele Canisters. This filters all allergens down to .1 microns. Additionally, Miele air filtration meets the stringent European h23 filtration standards.
  • The Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaners feature a longer cord, longer reach hose and telescopic wand than Dyson uprights. These give you a far greater cleaning range from a single outlet, 55 feet for the Miele upright vs 51.7 feet for the longest reaching Dyson upright.
  • Unlike the Dyson, each of the new S7 upright vacuum cleaners has a LED brush light to enhance visibility of the area you are cleaning.
  • The Miele uprights come with a longer warranty, 7 years, compared to 5 for the Dyson models.

While both Dyson and Miele are built to be nimble and more maneuverable than traditional uprights, differences between these vacuums are abundant. Whether we examine suction, ease of use, filtration standards, overall cleaning capability, or simply choice in color, the Miele Dynamic U1 upright vacuum cleaners outpace the competition. The Dyson Ball models cost between $399 and $700, while the Miele U1 upright vacuum cleaners range from $449 and $900. However, when you compare these two vacuum cleaners, you realize that you truly do get what you pay for.

How to clean the brush of a Dyson vacuum cleaner? Caring for your Dyson vacuum cleaner

The Dyson vacuum cleaner is an innovative solution for cleaning your home. It is able to effectively clean any coatings and surfaces with the appropriate nozzles and brushes. In order for the nozzles of the device to retain their effectiveness for a long time, it is necessary to properly care for them and clean them in a timely manner.

In the absence of proper care, the tightness of the contour to smooth surfaces is disturbed, carpets are combed much worse, and the entire vacuum cleaner as a whole loses power. By following simple cleaning instructions, you can maintain excellent cleaning quality for a long time.

Care Instructions for the Dyson Torque Turbo Brush (for carpets and hard floors)

1. Turn off the Dyson after vacuuming.

2. By pressing the orange button located on the handle, you need to disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

3. Turn the nozzle over.

4. Wipe the protective panel with a dry soft cloth to remove any dust.

5. Use a coin to open the housing containing the brush. To do this, the coin must be inserted into the appropriate end cap located on the side, and then rotated approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise.

6. On the same side, pull on the brush to remove it from the nozzle shaft.

7. Check the nozzle shaft for dirt. If threads, hair and other fibers are wrapped around the mechanisms, carefully unwind them with your hands or with scissors and tweezers.

8. Do the same with the brush itself, removing debris from it.

9. Remove the side of the brush and check for debris (hair and fur can get into the holes). Remove accumulated debris if necessary.

10. Push the side of the brush back into place.

11. Place the brush inside the nozzle shaft and secure by turning a coin inserted into the hole in the opposite direction.

After that, you can connect the nozzle to the vacuum cleaner handle and continue using it. Cleaning of this type is recommended to be carried out at least after every 3-4 cleanings.

Important! Always remove the brush from the nozzle to ensure that the accessory is cleaned effectively and dust, hair and wool deposits do not affect the operation of the vacuum cleaner.

Dust and dirt accumulate in the base of the motor, which can prevent the shaft from rotating properly and the vacuum cleaner to work effectively.

Important! Washing the brush under running water is not recommended . If you remove the end cap from the roller, you will find a bearing inside it. Contact with moisture can cause corrosion, which will affect the rotation of the shaft and the operation of the device.

Timely and regular removal of hair and other fibers from the nozzle reduces the load on the device’s motor, as well as guaranteeing its full power during each cleaning.

Cleaning the Dyson soft roller nozzle.

In order to maintain the soft roller nozzle, users need to:

1. Detach the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner handle by pressing the orange button.

2. Turn the nozzle over.

3. Use a coin to turn the bolt counterclockwise.

4. Remove the side cap of the soft roller nozzle.

5. Detach the soft cushion from the main body by pulling it to the left and pull out the additional cover.

6. Rinse the soft roller under running water, carefully removing all visible dirt.

7. Shake the soft roller well to remove excess moisture.

8. Rinse the accessory pad under running water to remove all dirt.

9. Shake to remove excess water.

10. Leave the soft roller and additional pad to dry naturally in an upright position.

11. After complete drying, install the soft roller and the additional pad in place.

12. Insert the side plug and secure.

13. Turn the locking mechanism clockwise using a coin.

The cleaning nozzle can then be used again.

Do not use the soft roller attachment until dry.

Important! When cleaning, do not rub the roller with a sponge, cloth or use any cleaning agents. The soft roller is easily washed under running water, which ensures effective cleaning and does not damage the integrity of the fabric.

Cleaning the mini electric brush of the Dyson cordless vacuum cleaner

Cleaning the nozzle for collecting hair and dirt in hard-to-reach places is carried out in much the same way as in the case of a turbo brush:

1. Disconnect the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner.

2. Using a coin, open the lock button located on the back of the element.

3. Disassemble the brush by pulling out the inner bristle roller.

4. Use scissors and tweezers to remove tangled hair, fur and other debris from the brush.

5. Optionally, wipe the roller with a damp cloth to remove dust particles.

6. Remove dust and dirt from the inside of the nozzle body using a dry soft cloth or cotton buds.

7. After cleaning, assemble the nozzle and lock the lock button by turning it clockwise.

Important! Do not clean the Mini Electric Brush under running water. The product can be cleaned exclusively with a dry method, in rare cases using wet wipes.

Upright vacuum cleaner: tips for choosing. Dyson Upright Vacuum Cleaner: Model

Overview

Home cleaning will be easier and faster with the purchase of a new, more functional vacuum cleaner. One of the modern options for household appliances for putting things in order is a vertical vacuum cleaner. We will analyze the features of his choice in this article.

  • Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Design Features
  • Dyson V8 Absolute 9 Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review0039
  • What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Upright Vacuum Cleaner – Design Features

An upright vacuum cleaner has a motor and dust collector mounted on a telescopic rod and usually has a battery. No need to move the case on wheels, behind which a long wire stretches. The charge is enough for an average of 20-50 minutes of operation, but there are models powered by a cord, from an outlet: they are lighter than rechargeable ones and still much more convenient than standard case vacuum cleaners.

This is a compact and manoeuvrable device that can complement a classic vacuum cleaner and completely replace it for cleaning a small apartment. Suitable for those who often have to use a vacuum cleaner, for example, families with small children, those who have pets. It is convenient to use in a house where there are steps and other hard-to-reach places. Such a vacuum cleaner will help with cleaning in “hot” areas: kitchen, hallway, nursery.

Upright vacuum cleaner can pick up dust and debris, handle pet hair well, and some models can even mop floors. It will cope with different surfaces: with smooth floors and carpets, with tiles, wood, laminate and soft fleecy carpets.

Advantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main advantage of the device is its compactness and ease of use. The absence of wires in most models allows you to easily move the device without worrying about the presence of an outlet nearby.

This vacuum cleaner is easy to store. It can be fixed in a vertical position, for which a wall holder is provided. This will save the usable space of the room and apartment.

The battery model takes approximately 5-6 hours to recharge. A battery charge is usually enough for a full cleaning (20 to 60 minutes). If you didn’t have time to complete it, many models have a quick charge function (it will help to partially restore the battery in a few minutes).

The built-in dust and dirt container is easy to clean – it is removable, so you just need to shake out the dirt and rinse the container with water. Often the waste container of an upright vacuum cleaner is transparent. So you can always see the level of occupancy. There are models with disposable and reusable bags made of fabric or paper as a dust collector.

There are upright vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function. The kit includes a pair of removable tanks. One for the bay clean, the other – to collect dirty water.

Upright vacuum cleaners can also be equipped with a steam mop function to wash off dirt with a hot water spray. But such options increase the cost of the device.

Some models of modern upright vacuum cleaners have a warning system – it tells you about the need for maintenance: cleaning the dust container, nozzle or filter.

2-in-1 upright vacuum cleaners, by detaching the extension tube, can be converted into a portable handheld device. Convenient for restoring order in the car – the power of the vacuum cleaner is enough for a full cleaning of the interior. Angled, slotted brushes, turbo brush, will help to clean hard-to-reach places: between seat cushions, under chairs.

Disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners: low power (cannot cope with heavy pollution), as well as a small capacity of the dust collector.

If you are planning a large-scale cleaning in a large apartment, then this unit may not be able to do it. You will need a washing vacuum cleaner or a powerful model for dry cleaning.

Upright vacuum cleaners are designed with small dust collectors: from 200 to 1000 ml. This is enough for several cleanings in a 2-3-room apartment – you need to clean an upright vacuum cleaner more often than a classic one.

A problem with an upright vacuum cleaner without a power cord can be the replacement of an exhausted branded battery pack. This is often an expensive item.

Review of upright vacuum cleaner Dyson V8 Absolute

Let’s examine the features of a cordless upright vacuum cleaner using the model from Dyson – V8 Absolute as an example.

The device performs dry cleaning with a maximum suction power of 115 W. The transparent case of the dust container of the Dyson V8 Absolute allows you to quickly assess the degree of its fullness. The container can store approximately 0.5 liters of dust. The mesh filter (responsible for filtering dust in the air) can be easily removed and washed.

Most of the parts are made of hard ABS plastic. The extension tube is made of aluminium, anodized on the outside. Both materials are scratch resistant. This vacuum cleaner weighs 2.6 kg.

The vacuum cleaner is considered a hybrid, or “2in1”: you can remove the telescopic tube and use the vacuum cleaner as a small portable cleaner.

After cleaning, the device is fixed on a stand with an integrated charging station. It will take approximately 4 hours to fully charge the vacuum cleaner. You can also attach 2 non-motorized attachments to the stand mount.

The vacuum cleaner is controlled by a button on the handle without fixing (it works only by pressing) – it saves battery consumption. In standard mode, the vacuum cleaner can work for about 40 minutes. The maximum power mode can be used for 7 minutes.

At the same time, the noise level of the device is at an acceptable level – about 70 dB.

Total set of 6 nozzles:

  • universal direct drive;
  • combined;
  • slotted;
  • soft roller;
  • mini electric brush;
  • brush with soft bristles.

The Dyson V8 Absolute is a stylish and functional hybrid vacuum cleaner that can handle short cleaning sessions in your apartment or house. It is quiet and lightweight, can work in several modes, and a large number of nozzles will allow you to remove dirt and dust in hard-to-reach places, including the car interior. And it’s also convenient to use, quick to clean and easy to store – with a wall bracket, the V8 Absolute takes up very little space and is always charged.

What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Before buying an upright vacuum cleaner, pay attention to the following important parameters:

  • suction power;
  • dust container volume;
  • weight and dimensions;
  • nutritional features;
  • noise;
  • number and type of nozzles included.

The more powerful the vacuum cleaner, the more efficient it works: for upright vacuum cleaners, the optimal value is a suction power in the range of 100-170 W.

The average volume of the dust container is 0.3-0.6 liters. This is enough for daily maintenance of cleanliness in the house: cleaning small debris in the kitchen and dust in the hallway.

The lighter the vacuum cleaner, the better. For a large apartment or house, this option is only suitable as an additional assistant.

Upright vacuum cleaners can be powered by mains or batteries. When choosing wired ones, pay attention to the length of the cord and the possibility of automatic winding. Cordless vacuum cleaners have different battery life.

The lower the noise level of the vacuum cleaner, the more pleasant the cleaning process will be for everyone around. The acceptable noise level for upright vacuum cleaners is 70 dB.

Also, a modern upright vacuum cleaner should have a set of additional nozzles.

  • Classic vacuum cleaner: The classic corded vacuum cleaner is the best choice for cleaning larger areas and for longer cleaning sessions. A vacuum cleaner with a bag is also better if you have allergies, as the bag prevents particles such as allergens from spreading in the air.

  • Upright vacuum cleaner: An upright vacuum cleaner is ideal for quick clean-ups. Since they’re usually both bagless and cordless, they’re very convenient and lighter than canister vacuums – but can’t clean for as long due to limited battery life. So they’re most suitable if you live in a small house or apartment.

  • Robot vacuum cleaner: The best choice if you hate vacuuming or need to clean frequently. A robot is self-propelled, but requires the floor to be level and the furniture to be placed in a way that ensures it won’t get stuck.

  • Vacuum cleaners aren’t just for your floors, they can help you clean upholstery, counter tops, curtains, etc. So buy a model that comes with accessories or is adaptable – such as different types of nozzles – for vacuuming mouldings, sofas and suchlike.

  • Look for vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters if you have allergies or are sensitive to dust. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air and means that 99.95% of small micro-particles, such as dust, dust mites and pollen, are trapped in the filter.

  • Some vacuum cleaners have a built-in mop that makes cleaning even easier and offers a convenient all-in-one solution.

It sucks when your vacuum cleaner loses suction. So look for reviews from people who have had the vacuum cleaner for a long time to find out how well it lasts. If the battery drains faster and faster, it may not be the model you want for the long haul.

Like most other things, vacuum cleaners need to be maintained in order to function properly and last longer. Here are some tips on how you can keep your vacuum cleaner in good condition.

This vacuum cleaner is easy to store. It can be fixed in a vertical position, for which a wall holder is provided. This will save the usable space of the room and apartment.

The battery model takes approximately 5-6 hours to recharge. A battery charge is usually enough for a full cleaning (20 to 60 minutes). If you didn’t have time to complete it, many models have a quick charge function (it will help to partially restore the battery in a few minutes).

The built-in dust and dirt container is easy to clean – it is removable, so you just need to shake out the dirt and rinse the container with water. Often the waste container of an upright vacuum cleaner is transparent. So you can always see the level of occupancy. There are models with disposable and reusable bags made of fabric or paper as a dust collector.

There are upright vacuum cleaners with a wet cleaning function. The kit includes a pair of removable tanks. One for the bay clean, the other – to collect dirty water.

Upright vacuum cleaners can also be equipped with a steam mop function to wash off dirt with a hot water spray. But such options increase the cost of the device.

Some models of modern upright vacuum cleaners have a warning system – it tells you about the need for maintenance: cleaning the dust container, nozzle or filter.

2-in-1 upright vacuum cleaners, by detaching the extension tube, can be converted into a portable handheld device. Convenient for restoring order in the car – the power of the vacuum cleaner is enough for a full cleaning of the interior. Angled, slotted brushes, turbo brush, will help to clean hard-to-reach places: between seat cushions, under chairs.

Disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners

The main disadvantages of upright vacuum cleaners: low power (cannot cope with heavy pollution), as well as a small capacity of the dust collector.

If you are planning a large-scale cleaning in a large apartment, then this unit may not be able to do it. You will need a washing vacuum cleaner or a powerful model for dry cleaning.

Upright vacuum cleaners are designed with small dust collectors: from 200 to 1000 ml. This is enough for several cleanings in a 2-3-room apartment – you need to clean an upright vacuum cleaner more often than a classic one.

A problem with an upright vacuum cleaner without a power cord can be the replacement of an exhausted branded battery pack. This is often an expensive item.

Review of upright vacuum cleaner Dyson V8 Absolute

Let’s examine the features of a cordless upright vacuum cleaner using the model from Dyson – V8 Absolute as an example.

The device performs dry cleaning with a maximum suction power of 115 W. The transparent case of the dust container of the Dyson V8 Absolute allows you to quickly assess the degree of its fullness. The container can store approximately 0.5 liters of dust. The mesh filter (responsible for filtering dust in the air) can be easily removed and washed.

Most of the parts are made of hard ABS plastic. The extension tube is made of aluminium, anodized on the outside. Both materials are scratch resistant. This vacuum cleaner weighs 2.6 kg.

The vacuum cleaner is considered a hybrid, or “2in1”: you can remove the telescopic tube and use the vacuum cleaner as a small portable cleaner.

After cleaning, the device is fixed on a stand with an integrated charging station. It will take approximately 4 hours to fully charge the vacuum cleaner. You can also attach 2 non-motorized attachments to the stand mount.

The vacuum cleaner is controlled by a button on the handle without fixing (it works only by pressing) – it saves battery consumption. In standard mode, the vacuum cleaner can work for about 40 minutes. The maximum power mode can be used for 7 minutes.

At the same time, the noise level of the device is at an acceptable level – about 70 dB.

Total set of 6 nozzles:

  • universal direct drive;
  • combined;
  • slotted;
  • soft roller;
  • mini electric brush;
  • brush with soft bristles.

The Dyson V8 Absolute is a stylish and functional hybrid vacuum cleaner that can handle short cleaning sessions in your apartment or house. It is quiet and lightweight, can work in several modes, and a large number of nozzles will allow you to remove dirt and dust in hard-to-reach places, including the car interior. And it’s also convenient to use, quick to clean and easy to store – with a wall bracket, the V8 Absolute takes up very little space and is always charged.

What to look for when choosing an upright vacuum cleaner

Before buying an upright vacuum cleaner, pay attention to the following important parameters:

  • suction power;
  • dust container volume;
  • weight and dimensions;
  • nutritional features;
  • noise;
  • number and type of nozzles included.

The more powerful the vacuum cleaner, the more efficient it works: for upright vacuum cleaners, the optimal value is a suction power in the range of 100-170 W.

The average volume of the dust container is 0.3-0.6 liters. This is enough for daily maintenance of cleanliness in the house: cleaning small debris in the kitchen and dust in the hallway.

The lighter the vacuum cleaner, the better. For a large apartment or house, this option is only suitable as an additional assistant.

Upright vacuum cleaners can be powered by mains or batteries. When choosing wired ones, pay attention to the length of the cord and the possibility of automatic winding. Cordless vacuum cleaners have different battery life.

The lower the noise level of the vacuum cleaner, the more pleasant the cleaning process will be for everyone around. The acceptable noise level for upright vacuum cleaners is 70 dB.

Also, a modern upright vacuum cleaner should have a set of additional nozzles. The wider it is, the better the cleaning will be. For example, if you have pets at home, then you can’t do without a turbo nozzle for deep cleaning of coatings from wool.

Drones: The Best Drones for 2023

The Best Drones for 2023

Even if you have no good reason to justify buying one, you have to admit that drones are cool. Some are glorified tech toys, but the models we highlight here are fit for imaging and cinematic applications both small and large. If you think you can use a flying camera in your next project, there’s some good news—the tech has come a long way in a very short time. Some models on the market now put earlier copters to shame in terms of video quality and stabilization.

And, now the bad news: You get what you pay for. If you want an aerial video platform that can capture stunning footage, you need to spend some cash, anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Because drones are such pricey propositions, it pays to do your research before buying one.

How To Buy A Drone

We don’t focus on racing, industrial, or agricultural aircraft here—our coverage is squarely on imaging and video. The drones we review are ready-to-fly models, so you can use them right out of the box.

Read on for the top drones we’ve tested, followed by everything you need to know about choosing the right model for your needs and budget.


Deeper Dive: Our Top Tested Picks

DJI Mini 2 SE

Best Entry-Level Drone

4.0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

DJI Mini 2 SE Review

DJI Mini 3 Pro

Best Drone for Most Creators

4.0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is the most capable ultralight drone on the market. Its 249g takeoff weight (with a 34-minute battery) means you can get around FAA registration, though creators who don’t mind forms and fees can add in an extended life battery to push flights beyond 45 minutes. Three-way obstacle sensors, automated flight modes, and 4K60 video round out the feature set. We especially like the APAS function, an autopilot that can navigate through complex spaces all by itself, for low-to-the-ground use.

Who It’s For

If you’ve looked at the Mini 3 and wanted a bit more, the Mini 3 Pro is a sensible step-up. Drone enthusiasts, cinematographers looking to add a B-camera for aerials, and creators who don’t mind spending a bit more for smart obstacle avoidance should find the Mini 3 Pro to be a worthwhile upgrade. It’s also a good match for TikTok influencers because it supports vertical 9:16 video.

PROS

  • Portable design
  • 4K60 with digital zoom
  • Vertical video and photo support
  • Upward-tilting camera
  • Three-way obstacle sensors
  • Strong safety features

DJI Mini 3 Pro Review

DJI Air 2S

Best for Photographers

4. 0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

The DJI Air 2S has a camera with an oversized Type 1 (also called 1-inch) sensor for much better 20MP stills than you can get from the DJI Mini series drones. It supports 5.4K30 and 4K60 video with HDR, flat, or standard profiles, plus it can snap photos in Raw or JPG format. DJI’s strong safety features are here too, including GPS location, obstacle sensors, ADS-B to warn you of nearby manned aircraft, and a 30-minute battery.

Who It’s For

The Air 2S is a compelling drone for stills-first creators. The Type 1 sensor may lag behind Quad Bayer chips in pixel count, but captures a wider dynamic range, so photogs have more leeway for edits to exposure. Video pros should appreciate the 5.4K resolution and choice of three profiles too, but you may want to step up to a Mavic 3 for more serious cinema work. Keep in mind that you must register this drone with the FAA.

PROS

  • 1-inch sensor camera
  • Video at up to 5. 4K quality
  • Robust safety features
  • Obstacle detection and avoidance
  • Automated camera shots
  • HDR, Log, and Standard video profiles
  • AirSense transponder
  • Half-hour flight time

CONS

  • Doesn’t offer in-camera filtered looks
  • 8GB internal storage isn’t much
  • Remote doesn’t include EV control wheel
  • App-based editing limited to 1080p output
  • HDR HLG workflow for pros only
  • Raw images don’t transfer to smartphones and tablets automatically

DJI Air 2S Review

DJI Mini 3

Best for Creators on a Budget

4.0 Excellent

Why We Picked It

The DJI Mini 3 is the drone for pilots who aren’t satisfied with the starter camera on the affordable DJI Mini 2 but can’t quite justify the Mini 3 Pro. Highlights of the camera include support for 4K30 video with an HDR look in either vertical or landscape orientation, as well as 60 degrees of upward tilt. The photo quality is good, too. The camera supports 12MP JPG or Raw DNG snaps, while the F1.7 optics do a good job at dawn and dusk. Safety features include GPS, Find My Drone, and Return to Home. Its 249g takeoff weight means you can fly it without dealing with FAA registration—you just need to pass an online knowledge test. We also like the 38-minute flight times, though we wish DJI had worked obstacle detection into this model.

Who It’s For

Creators who want a dual-aspect drone for TikTok and YouTube should consider this drone. It conveniently streams live video straight to a smartphone app, is capable for stills, and remains stable even when you fly it near the 400-foot altitude limit. If you don’t want to spend quite so much ($560 with a remote), the Mini 2 is the best alternative. On the other hand, if you can spend more, the Mini 3 Pro adds useful obstacle avoidance sensors.

PROS

  • Good-looking 4K30 video
  • Support for vertical video and upward gimbal tilt
  • 12MP stills in Raw DNG or JPG
  • 38-minute flights with standard battery
  • 51-minute extended battery available
  • 249g build for registration-free flight
  • Built-in GPS and FlySafe safety features

CONS

  • Omits obstacle detection
  • Limited to one color profile
  • Doesn’t support Hyperlapse or ActiveTrack

DJI Mini 3 Review

Autel Robotics Evo Lite+

Best for Long Flights

3. 5 Good

Why We Picked It

The Autel Evo Lite+ uses a Type 1 sensor camera for picture quality that’s competitive with the DJI Air 2S, with the additional benefit of a variable aperture to cut incoming light without the need for ND filters. The folding drone can fly for around 40 minutes on a full battery and supports three-way obstacle sensors to prevent midair accidents.

Who It’s For

The Autel Evo Lite+ is a capable camera drone for creators who don’t want to support DJI. Its 6K camera is capable and, although we wish we could fine-tune the video profile, a flat look is available if you want to edit for color. Its price is a knock against it, though, considering the Air 2S costs around $1,000, but you might find the Lite+ to be worth it for extended flight times and to sidestep DJI’s sometimes restrictive Fly Safe(Opens in a new window) geofence.

PROS

  • Stabilized 6K30 and 4K60 video
  • 20MP stills in Raw DNG or JPG
  • 1-inch camera with variable aperture
  • Beefy battery for up to 40 minutes of flight
  • Three-way obstacle sensors
  • Automated camera moves and Hyperlapse
  • GPS and automated return-to-home

CONS

  • Color video profile isn’t configurable
  • 8-bit flat video profile
  • Screenless remote is a step backward from previous generation
  • Doesn’t support autonomous navigation around obstructions

Autel Robotics Evo Lite+ Review

Autel Robotics Evo Nano+

Best 249g Drone Without Geofence

3. 5 Good

Why We Picked It

The Autel Robotics Evo Nano+ comes in at 249g, so you don’t need to register it with the FAA, though it does include three-way obstacle detection for safer flight. A stabilized camera records 4K30 video and snaps sharp photos at up to 50MP. Battery life is very good too, at about 28 minutes.

Who It’s For

The Evo Nano+ is a good drone for pilots who want a quadcopter they can take up in the air without baked-in geofencing restrictions, like the DJI FlySafe system that some see as restrictive. The 249g takeoff weight allows you to use it a bit more freely than heavier drones and the picture quality is very good, with aggressive sharpening being the real knock. The Nano+ is a good drone for beginner and advanced pilots alike.

PROS

  • 4K30 video with gimbal stabilization
  • Camera supports 12MP and 50MP photos
  • Automated quick shots and Hyperlapse
  • Up to 28 minutes of flight time
  • Three-way obstacle sensors
  • GPS with return-to-home functionality

CONS

  • Raw photos are tricky to process
  • Overprocessed look to video
  • Log profile is only 8-bit

Autel Robotics Evo Nano+ Review

DJI Avata

Best for Adrenaline Junkies

3. 5 Good

Why We Picked It

The DJI Avata is an FPV drone, one in which you see the camera view through a set of VR goggles, not on a smartphone screen. A nose-mounted camera, motion-sensitive remote, and 30mph Sport mode are there for thrill seekers. Meanwhile, built-in prop guards keep it flying after minor bumps and downward-facing sensors make low-to-the-ground flights possible. You can slow down and take your time too, if you like, for Cinewhoop-style long takes to channel your inner Scorsese and Welles.

Who It’s For

The Avata is a drone for those who want fast-paced, close-to-the-ground, and elaborately choreographed footage. Take the Avata up high and you might see some wobble in the camera that you don’t get with cinema drones, but you can also bank and turn to convey a sense of motion. We like that it’s easy enough for anyone to pick up and fly, though pros can swap a dual-stick remote for fully manual flight at 60mph. On the other hand, we’re a bit put off by just how easy it is to crash; make sure you have a safe place to fly it.

PROS

  • Incredibly easy (and fun) to fly
  • Sharp FPV goggles with diopter adjustment
  • One-handed controller works well
  • Great for POV shots
  • Wide-angle lens and 4K60 video convey sense of motion

CONS

  • Expensive
  • Potentially dangerous
  • Unsuitable for small, crowded areas
  • Requires FAA registration for outdoor flight
  • Slow to react to shifts in white balance

DJI Avata Review

Ryze Tello

Best for Kids Learning to Code

3.5 Good

Why We Picked It

The Ryze Tello is more of a learning toy than a cinema tool. You can fly the small quadcopter with your phone or a controller, like many others, but this goes a step further with support for MIT’s Scratch coding platform. If you connect the Tello to a laptop running Scratch, it can execute commands and macros in sequence, giving kids a fun incentive to learn the basics of coding.

Who It’s For

This is the one drone on the list that’s safe enough for tweens and teens to fly. The Tello doesn’t have much power and its 720p camera isn’t one you’d ever use for a vlog. But its low cost is appealing to parents shopping for a learning toy, even if some kids might just prefer flying around to programming commands.

PROS

  • Inexpensive.
  • Easy to fly.
  • Programmable via Scratch.
  • Bluetooth remote control compatibility.
  • Automated flight modes.

CONS

  • Pixelated, low-quality video.
  • Limited control range.
  • No GPS or return-to-home capability.

Ryze Tello Review

Buying Guide: The Best Drones for 2023


What Are the Rules for Owning a Drone?

The rules of the air vary from region to region—we’ve covered what to know for flying in the US. But, typically, if your drone weighs 8.8 ounces (250g) or more, you need to register it before you can fly it outdoors legally—even over your property. You also need to pass a free basic knowledge test online that’s pretty easy to ace.

You don’t need to register some mass-market drones (those that are lighter than 250g), but you still need to take the Trust test. The DJI Mini family is exempt, as is the Autel Nano series. Entry-level models omit obstacle avoidance (something you get with the Autel Nano and upmarket DJI Mini 3 Pro) but still include GPS stabilization, automated return-to-home, and automatic takeoff and landing. They’re safe drones to fly.

Almost all of the models here have some safety features. For instance, if your control signal is interrupted or if the battery gets down too low (most drones can only fly for around a half-hour between charges), most of these drones will start to head back to the takeoff point and land.


DJI Air 2S

Flyaways still happen, however—there are horror stories on various web discussion forums. Of course, negative experiences are more prevalent in that context, simply because uneventful flights that don’t result in a crash or missing drone aren’t hot topics for discussion. Some manufacturers offer extended warranties that replace a lost aircraft, but make sure to read the fine print before buying something like DJI Care Refresh—you must consider any associated restrictions and fees.

If you’re flying within the United States, you need to follow FAA guidelines—or prepare to face potential fines or jail time. The FAA sets no-fly zones(Opens in a new window), so don’t take off if you’re near an airport without notifying the control tower first. And, even if you’re out in the middle of nowhere, don’t take your drone above 400 feet. Most are set to obey these regulations out of the box, but controlling a quadcopter is just like driving a car—even if you didn’t see that speed limit sign, you’re still liable to pay the ticket.


What Are the Types of Drones?

Several products on the market sell as drones but don’t quite fit that description. Remote-controlled aircraft have been around for ages. But with the recent surge in popularity, quadcopters that would simply be sold as RC products are now being tagged as drones. These don’t include GPS stabilization, return-to-home functionality, and other automated flight modes that make a drone a drone.

Drone racing enthusiasts often build their aircraft from kits or parts. Doing so requires some skill with a soldering iron and screwdriver, but it has become an aspect of the hobby itself. DJI has an off-the-shelf racer, the FPV Combo, that can move at a brisk 87mph. We took a first look at it but weren’t comfortable enough with its controls to conduct a full review.

Small drones aren’t only for racing, either. Some people use tiny, homemade Cinewhoop drones for long, one-take video tours(Opens in a new window). GoPro sells an ultralight version of its flagship action cam, called the Hero10 Bones, for DIY drone builders who want the best video quality for these types of shots.

DJI’s second FPV model, the Avata, dances between racer and Cinewhoop in attitude. Its built-in prop guards, slim form, and 4K60 camera make it possible to fly in tight confines, and you can push the speed to around 30mph with autopilot assistance if you’re looking for a thrill ride.

We didn’t test the Snap Pixy, a toy drone made to work with Snapchat. The market spoke, though, and reports indicate Snapchat ended production shortly after launch (it’s still for sale though).


Which Brand of Drones Is Best?

DJI models currently dominate our top picks and there’s a good reason for that. The company is simply a few steps ahead of its competition right now and offers products at a lot of price levels. It made a huge splash with its iconic Phantom series, and its folding Mini and Air lines (formerly called Mavic) are the best small drones we’ve tested.

Its pro lines offer a lot more power, for more money. Its Inspire and Matrice models can carry heavier payloads, including interchangeable lens systems. They’re overkill for most consumers, however, and not nearly as convenient to carry.

Some pilots are sour on DJI, though. Its FlySafe geofencing system adds an authorization requirement to areas with flight restrictions. Professional operators who are allowed to fly may find the process of getting up in the air to be too cumbersome with a DJI drone.

And, from an ethical standpoint, the US treasury flagged DJI(Opens in a new window) for aiding the Chinese government’s surveillance of the persecuted Uyghur ethnic group in what is considered a continuing genocide(Opens in a new window). If that leaves you feeling icky, consider an alternative. For its part, DJI says it shouldn’t be on the Entity List: A representative tells PCMag that “DJI has done nothing to warrant our inclusion on the Entity List.” 

There are a few other brands you can explore. The Autel Robotics Evo drone family is a good alternative. Autel is also a Chinese firm, but the US government hasn’t singled it out in the same manner as DJI. Its Evo Nano series competes with DJI Mini drones, and larger Evo Lite drones match up with DJI Air models in size and capabilities. You pay a bit more for Autel on average and its drones aren’t quite as finely polished, but the company’s models have proven capable in testing.


DJI Mini 3 Pro
(Credit: Jim Fisher)

France-based Parrot offers the Anafi, another good folding drone; it’s a solid option for consumers wary of buying tech from Chinese firms. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to find it in stock. The same is true with Skydio, a California-based drone maker. Its latest Skydio 2+ is sold out at press time and a rep from the company tells us there’s no timeline for a restock.

Sony sells the Airpeak S1, a big bird that works with Alpha mirrorless cameras and compact cinema models like the FX3. It’s meant for the most demanding photographers and moviemakers—the drone starts at $9,000 and then you need to spend a couple thousand dollars on a camera and gimbal.

How We Test Drones


The Best Small Drones

For a long time, the DJI Phantom series was about as small as you could go if you wanted to get a full-featured drone that maintains stability in the air and includes strong safety features. That’s no longer the case. Hikers and travel photographers appreciate a small, light kit, and they can now get a drone that fits into a backpack.

Of course, not every small drone is a top flyer. Some are barely capable of getting off the ground and require you to use your smartphone as a remote control, which makes for a sloppy flying experience. Make sure you get one with a real remote.


Autel Evo Lite+
(Credit: Jim Fisher)

The DJI Mini 3 is so light that you don’t have to pay the FAA registration fee to fly it, and it offers strong video and image quality. It drops some higher-end video features, though, and doesn’t offer any sort of obstacle detection. The Mini 3 Pro adds obstacle sensors and comes in under registration weight with its standard battery—though we recommend you fork up the $5 FAA fee and use the drone with its longer-lasting (but heavier) extended runtime battery. You also have to register the Avata, but we consider it a small drone, and it’s a good choice if you care more about FPV action than cinematic video. DJI also sells the budget-minded $339 Mini 2 SE for starter pilots; it supports 2.7K30 video and flies for up to 30 minutes on a charge.

The Ryze Tello isn’t a good drone for videographers, but Scratch programming support makes it an appealing first drone for teens learning to code.


The Best Drones for Professionals

DJI recently upgraded its long-running Inspire 2 with a new airframe and camera. The Inspire 3 is now its big, quad-rotor model for cinema production. The drone features a full-frame, 8K camera that can take DJI or Sony lenses and supports CinemaDNG and ProRes Raw recording. Its bottom-mounted camera and retractable landing gear are also advantages, as they enable more complex combinations of camera and aircraft movement versus drones with nose-mounted cameras.

If you want a smaller drone with high-end video specs, think about a version of the Mavic 3, which starts at $1,600 for the Classic edition. All versions of the Mavic 3 support 5.1K50 recording with a Four Thirds format camera in 10-bit HEVC. The standard and Cine editions include a telephoto camera, missing from the Classic. A Pro model is available as a step-up, it adds a third mid-range tele camera. On the high end, the Mavic 3 Pro Cine ($4,799) also sports a triple camera stack and adds support for ProRes 422 HQ with a 1TB SSD for onboard storage. The Pro Cine is a worthwhile splurge for cinematographers—the upgraded video toolkit and bundled Pro RC remote justify the cost.

DJI offers Matrice drones for industry and enterprise, as well as Agras drones for agriculture. As mentioned earlier, Sony’s Airpeak S1 can carry big cameras but is closer to the Inspire series in size, so it’s just as good for location work.

Prehistoric cave paintings discovered in Spain using drones

CNN
 — 

Archaeologists in Spain have discovered prehistoric paintings in hard-to-reach caves in the east of the country using drone technology.

The use of drones allowed researchers to quickly gather evidence of previously unseen cave paintings dating from 5,000- 7,500 years ago, according to a statement from the team at the University of Alicante, Spain. The archaeologists’ findings were published in the Spanish scientific journal Lucentum last month.

The project allowed easier inspection of areas which could otherwise only be reached by “opening complex access routes climbing,” reads the statement.

The team said they found their first results within just a few days of flying drones in a quarry in the Penàguila municipality in Alicante.

“This area is well known for housing numerous groups with prehistoric art,” said lead author Francisco Javier Molina Hernández, an archaeologist at the University of Alicante, in the statement.

“The result was the discovery of a new site with prehistoric cave paintings of different styles, which we believe will be very relevant for the investigation.”

Climbers then visited the site and verified the existence of a large number of painted figures in various styles, including stylized human figures and animals such as goats and deer, some of which have been injured by arrows, according to the statement.

Hernández, who has been christened “Indiana Drones” by the Spanish press, worked with two other archaeologists – Virginia Barciela and Ximo Martorell Briz – on the research.

The research was carried out in the Penàguila municipality in Alicante, Spain.

Researchers came up with the idea of using drones because “on many occasions we have risked our lives to access cavities located in rugged geographical areas,” Molina told CNN Tuesday.

“Many other caves have never been inspected because they are located in inaccessible areas,” he added.

The researchers said the finding is one of the most significant Neolithic rock art sites discovered in the Valencia region in recent decades, due to the large number of figures observed.

Neanderthals were painting caves in Europe long before modern humans, study finds

“Secondly, the discovery of new cave paintings in this type of cave indicates that prehistoric man developed sophisticated means of climbing, perhaps by means of ropes or wooden scaffolding,” said Molina.

They may have taken these risks to reach certain caves due to their relation to the sunrise or visual control of certain territory, he added.

Next up, the team plans to use more powerful drones to take higher quality images and expand their research to other areas of Spain, Portugal and other parts of Europe, said Molina.

Read TV channel Krasnodar in the news:

A fighter of the reconnaissance group of the 150th brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, a UAV operator with the call sign “Yenisei” said that Kyiv uses Chinese drones for surveillance and delivery of ammunition. To eliminate Ukrainian drones, the RF Armed Forces use special devices.

– I haven’t seen heavy percussion “Bayraktars” for a long time. Apparently, our air defense knocked them down. There are a lot of Chinese civilian drones flying around. Various Mavic models are used for reconnaissance and correction, the fighter told URA.RU correspondent.

The intelligence officer also added that Ukraine uses a lot of drones that are difficult to see in the sky. This can be done only with the help of special equipment, because at an altitude of up to one and a half kilometers, drones are not audible.

Yenisei explained how Ukraine is preparing small bombers. Dumps are attached to Mavic drones, high-capacity batteries are installed. This weapon is used against infantry, advanced fortifications, armored vehicles, hanging, including a grenade from an anti-tank grenade launcher. Such ammunition can penetrate thin top armor. For defense, Russian electronic warfare installations are constantly working, reducing the ability to control drones, “burning their brains”.
